Autorenporträt

Ella Cheever Thayer (1849-1925) was an American author most renowned for her novel 'Wired Love: A Romance of Dots and Dashes,' which was published in 1879. The novel is a remarkable testament to Thayer's forward-thinking imagination, as it explores the concept of a relationship developing through telegraph wires, an anticipation of modern online romances. 'Wired Love' humorously delves into themes of love, work, and communication technology, and it remains a pertinent commentary on the challenges of connection in an increasingly technological world. Thayer's literary style is characterized by her wit and the ease with which she integrated contemporary technological advancements into her storytelling. Although 'Wired Love' was her most celebrated work, obtaining critical acclaim during her time, much of Thayer's life and other writings remain obscure. Despite the scarcity of her broader literary contributions, 'Wired Love' has survived the test of time, becoming a piece of cultural history reflecting an early recognition of how technology can shape human relationships. For readers and scholars interested in proto-science fiction or telegraphic literature, Thayer's work stands as an important early instance of the genre.
