Covito notes that our postmodern era is particularly concerned with multiplicity, with equalized and decentralized authority, which is actually reflected in the structure of the World Wide Web.
She explains that one of her objectives in writing this novel was to combine the use of a "neo-Italian" spoken language, which increasingly makes use of jargon and modes of expression from telecommunication, with the uses of literariness.
Covito is effectively creating a hypertextual environment by weaving a writing space that is more personal than the standard sheet of paper.
