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
