Summary:

Rebooting Electronic Literature, Volume 2 is the second of a series of open-source, multimedia books documenting works of electronic literature held in Dene Grigar's Electronic Literature Lab (ELL) collection at Washington State University Vancouver. ELL consists of 300 copies of electronic literature, 61 functioning vintage computers, and software pertaining to authoring and design dating back to the early 1980s. Of most concern to this publication are those works published on floppy disks and CD-ROMs not currently or soon will no longer be accessible to the general public. The 5 works featured in this volume, therefore, are those from the collection selected for Traversals this year, and are among the most unique and fragile in the collection. Written and produced by the ELL Team this book features approximately 50,000 words devoted to artist biographies, descriptions of media, and essays; over 200 photos of artists, works, and their original packaging; and over 40 videos of artist readings and interviews and Live Stream Traversals.
