Unfinished book in which lad engages with computers etc (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sanditon

'unfinished book' is the definition.
(unfinished Jane Austen novel)

'lad engages with computers etc' is the wordplay.
'lad' becomes 'son' (lad can informally mean a young boy).
'engages' indicates putting letters inside.
'with' becomes 'and'.
'computers etc' becomes 'IT' (short for Information Technology).
'and'+'it'='andit'
'son' placed around 'andit' is 'SANDITON'.

'in which' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
