The Digital Revolution is impacting upon literacy practices all around the world. The ubiquitous presence of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT’s) — from computers, to the Internet, to smart phones, and other mobile devices — means narrative is being pushed into a more process-oriented space where texts no longer necessarily manifest as stable, final products. Instead, contemporary texts often present as dynamic, multifaceted, interactive “experiences” within which readers can become deeply immersed. In the digital realm, writers and readers are regularly positioned to participate in immersive processes akin to exploring, browsing, assembling, and synthesising a range of textual features in order to make meaning. Furthermore, ready access to multiple semiotic modes, as facilitated by advances in technology, means the way that we construct, present, and interpret narrative is constantly evolving. This paper investigates such trends; in particular, it draws upon a social semiotic approach to discuss and analyse the born-digital, multimodal short story ‘Rupture’. Assertions are then made regarding how this narrative exemplifies the influence that digital technology continues to have upon the content, structure, spatial organisation, and socio-cultural context of texts, along with the ways in which they are told and consumed.
