Hi Emma, Although not properly "digital" culture, I always like to indicate the movie "The Imitation Game" to the students. If you are seeking fictional stuff, there is the series "Mr. Robot", which addresses the digital culture and also the hacking culture. It's awesome! Other possibilities are "TPB AFK: The Pirate Bay Away From Keyboard", a documentary based on the trial of the three founders of The Pirate Bay, and "Zero Days", a documentary about a malware used against the Iran and addresses the influence of cyber attacks on people's lives. I hope it helps. Good luck! Liana. On Tue, Dec 20, 2016 at 9:52 AM, Thomas Ball <xtc283@gmail.com> wrote:
This BBC documentary titled *The Joy of Data* is a pretty good overview of digital culture...

A recent *New York Times Magazine* article titled *AI: The Great Awakening *has a nice, kind of breathless portrait of how digital networks and AI are changing culture...

Ted Mooney's book *Easy Travel to Other Planets* contains many digital motifs focused around, e.g., information sickness and overload.

Hello all,
I am putting together a syllabus for an interdisciplinary arts/humanities course that will include a unit on art and culture of the digital age. I am currently seeking short literary fiction and films/video clips I can use to introduce college students (mostly freshmen and sophomores) to "digital culture" in its various forms and guises.
I am particularly interested in works published after 1980, although if anyone can recommend their favorite short stories by Philip K. Dick, William Gibson, women writers and writers of color, I'd be very appreciative.
Thank you so much!
All the best, Emma Stamm
