Ed King specialises in Argentine and Brazilian literature and visual culture. His thesis focused on the representation of digital technologies in science fiction narratives produced during the postdictatorship period. He is currently pursuing his interest in connections between technology and culture in Latin America in a study of 'virtual Orientalism' in Brazilian cultural and intellectual engagements with Japanese modernity from the end of the nineteenth century to the present. His first book entitled 'Science Fiction and Digital Technologies in Argentine and Brazilian Culture' is to be published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2013.
