Because Some People Were Asking-Spring ‘10 Reading List

Posted in December 7th, 2009

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%.)

Thanks! Barnes and Nobles could order “Writing Analytically,” but they wanted $65. I’ll keep looking.
