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.

For readers and scholars interested in proto-science fiction or telegraphic literature, Thayer's work stands as an important early instance of the genre.
