Around the time that academics like Antonio Negri, Nicholas Dames, Jeffrey Nealon, Raoul Eshelman, Stephen Best, and Sharon Marcus had announced the death of postmodernism, internet talking heads such as Jordan Peterson began blaming it for the ills of the twenty-first century. Postmodernism as such seems to be caught Janus-faced, a signifier which as a singular surface marks the intersection between two incongruent points of view. This dissertation tracks the transformations of postmodernism in the digital era. Grounded in phenomenology and object-oriented ontology, my central concern becomes the pervasive material networks sunk beneath the threshold of perceptual awareness, an implosion of technics producing new and unseen sites of commoditization, surveillance, and posthegemonic power. I trace this lineage through the critical category of "surface," arguing that numerous contemporary fictions, SF in particular, both engage with, and are themselves the products of, the subsumption of the machine into interface: the apparatus under erasure in the digital age.My metaphor for this impossible double-one-sidedness is the Necker Cube, that ambiguous line drawing dreamed up by nineteenth-century Swiss crystallographer Louis Albert Necker. Look at the 2D image one way and a 3D figure will emerge-which in a moment will invert itself. This gestalt switch involves no new information and yet appears to produce a new point of view. The cube flickers and flits-it neckers-back-and-forth, and any particular orientation registers only as the difference between the foremost face and its opposite.Neckerology thus becomes an interpretive protocol for seeking out the liminal thresholds between surfaces. Much like how slips of the tongue were for Freud no mere absentminded mistakes but the signifiers of a hidden discourse, neckerological slips in perception can reveal the gaps or inconsistencies in our being-in-the-world. From humans' coevolution with technology in 2001: A Space Odyssey and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? to the conspiracy theories and mutual unseeing of The Crying of Lot 49 and China Mieville's The City & The City to the viral replication of Bennett Sims's A Questionable Shape and Dave Eggers's The Circle, I examine the state-and stakes-of moving ever more of our lives online.
