Abstract: The paper aims to chart out the affiliations between e-technology and our biological selves and of how hypertext and evolution are similar in their setup. The study of literary Darwinism will form the background of the discussion including the physical, social, psychological and then the literary evolution and adaptation of man. Darwinian literary studies explore the mental evolution of man through the form of literature and analyses how literature served as a tool for our survival and adaptation. It examines the gap between a slow and gradual physical evolution of man and the sudden revolution in the human culture in terms of technological revolution. This has further led to the engagement with vast animated culture in the form of electronics giving rise to certain terminologies such as hypertext which assimilates colloquially with the biological process of evolution.
Keywords: Cognition, Evolution, Hypertext, Literary Darwinism, Technology.
