<div>This book considers how a combination of place-based writing and location&nbsp;responsive technologies produce new kinds of literary experiences. Building on&nbsp;the work done in the Ambient Literature Project (2016–2018), this books argues&nbsp;that these encounters constitute new literary forms, in which the authored text lies at the heart of an embodied and mediated experience. The visual, sonic,&nbsp;social and historic resources of place become the elements of a live and emergent&nbsp;mise-en-scène. Specific techniques of narration, including hallucination, memory,&nbsp;history, place based writing, and drama, as well as reworking of traditional&nbsp;storytelling forms combine with the work of app and user experience design, interaction, software authoring, and GIS (geographical information systems) to&nbsp;produce ambient experiences where the user reads a textual and sonic literary&nbsp;space. These experiences are temporary, ambiguous, and unpredictable in their&nbsp;meaning but unlike the theatre, the gallery, or the cinema they take place in the&nbsp;everyday shared world. The book explores the potentiality of a new literary form&nbsp;produced by the exchange between location-aware cultural objects, writers and&nbsp;readers. This book, and the work it explores, lays the ground for a new poetics of&nbsp;situated writing and reading practices.</div>
