      ab: The present study consists in an experimental approach dealing with the unexplored possibilities of the electronic support as a medium for literary creation. Inspired by Neal Stephenson's Diamond Age and conceived as a set of reflections on the act of writing, the book under the magnifying glass would allow the writer and the reader to increase or decrease the degree of detail of the text, by a procedure evoking the magnifying glass effect and the fractals geometry. The main feature of this new kind of textuality would be a layout on levels of ‘depth’, accessible by operations of ‘zoom-in’ and ‘zoom-out’, the text of the most abridged level being reproduced and appropriately augmented on each of the subsequent, deeper levels.
