Summary/Abstract: Our essay presents the relationship between literature, art and the most recent territory conquered by humanity – virtual space. A first part discusses the novelty of the term “virtual”, highlighting the fact that its origin, as alternative environment and results, may be traced to the beginnings of art and literature. Contemporaneity only brings a set of new techniques and a different support for transmitting creation. A second part analyses the specific relationship between literature and virtual space, the new forms of the books and the new modalities and techniques offered by virtual space to the writers. The third part of our essay analyses the relationship between virtual space and Andrei Codrescu, a writer with a dynamic connection with virtuality.
