Because Some People Were Asking-Spring ’10 Reading List

For those of you anxious to get started on next semester, or perhaps those who just want to buy the books for the Spring, below is a list of the readings.

  • The Nature of the Book Adrain Johns
  • The Future of the Book Geoffrey Nunberg
  • Remediation Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin
  • Wealth of Networks Yochai Benkler (You can download this book for free.)
  • Glut: Mastering Information Through the Ages Alex Wright
  • Everything is Miscellaneous David Weinberger
  • Remix: Making Art and Commerce Thrive in a Hybrid Economy by Lawrence Lessig
  • Paper Machine by Jacques Derrida (We will only be reading two articles from this book, so you will be able to get it off eReserve. But regardless it is a good book and if you have a chance pick up a copy.)
  • Also we will be talking about Rip: A Remix Manifesto so if you want a movie to watch over break you might just watch this. It is entertaining, informative, and you get to pick how much you want to pay for it.

(This isn’t 100% final, more like 95.2%.)
