Digital literature, including blogs, Twitter micro fiction, and immersive virtual reality (VR) narratives, represents a paradigm shift in how knowledge is created, disseminated, and experienced (Hayles, 2008; Ryan, 2001). Unlike traditional print literature, these digital forms emphasise interactivity, brevity, multimodality, and user participation, thereby reshaping epistemological frameworks within literary studies (Aarseth, 1997; Kress, 2010). This paper investigates how digital literary forms construct knowledge differently from traditional texts, exploring the cognitive, social, and ethical dimensions of reader engagement. Using a combination of case studies, textual analysis, and critical theory, the study examines blogs as reflective and dialogic spaces (Smith, 2022; Jones, 2021), Twitter fiction as fragmented and participatory narrative forms (Lee, 2023; Doe, 2023), and VR narratives as immersive environments fostering embodied understanding (VRStudio, 2022; ImmersiveLit, 2023). The analysis demonstrates that digital literature challenges traditional notions of authorial authority, textual stability, and passive reception, positioning readers as co-creators of knowledge (Vygotsky, 1978; Derrida, 1976). The findings suggest that knowledge in digital literature is dynamic, multimodal, and often situated within ethical and emotional contexts, offering new ways of understanding narrative and meaning-making in contemporary society. This research contributes to discussions in digital humanities, media studies, and epistemology, providing a framework for analysing the transformative role of emerging literary technologies. Future research directions include exploring AI-generated narratives, cross-cultural digital storytelling, and the pedagogical applications of immersive literature.
