Editors’ Summary: Steve Tomasula’s I Always Wanted to Be a Media Theorist Who Wrote with a Telegraph Key is a thought-provoking exploration of how digital technologies, artificial intelligence, and networked systems are reshaping literature, identity, and human consciousness. Drawing on the scholarship of Joseph Tabbi, Tomasula argues that storytelling is moving beyond individual, character-driven narratives toward posthuman perspectives shaped by data, distributed cognition, and technological mediation. Blending literary criticism, cultural theory, and personal reflection, the essay examines how the internet, AI, and surveillance have transformed both the act of writing and the experience of being human, challenging readers to rethink the future of narrative itself.
