The MIT Press has recently published a book/CD that might be of interest to AoIR folks. It's titled The New Media Reader, and Nick Montfort and I are the editors. We've put up a site about the project here: http://www.newmediareader.com The site makes available a number of works that not only haven't been on the Web before, but also have been hard to find in print - including the full text (with images) of "Personal Dynamic Media" by Alan Kay and Adele Goldberg, significant excerpts from _Computer Lib / Dream Machines_ by Ted Nelson, selections from Brenda Laurel's _Computers as Theater_ and her PhD dissertation, etc. I'll paste more detailed information about the book/CD below. Noah The New Media Reader edited by Noah Wardrip-Fruin and Nick Montfort book design by Michael Crumpton isbn: 0262232278 The new media field has been developing for more than 50 years. This reader collects the texts, videos, and computer programs - many of them now almost impossible to find - that chronicle the history and form the foundation of this still-emerging field. General introductions by Janet H. Murray (author of Hamlet on the Holodeck) and Lev Manovich (author of The Language of New Media), along with short introductions to each of the selections, place the works in their historical context and explain their significance. The texts are from computer scientists, artists, architects, literary writers, interface designers, cultural critics, and individuals working across disciplines. They were originally published between World War II (when digital computing, cybernetic feedback, and early notions of hypertext and the Internet first appeared) and the emergence of the World Wide Web (when these concepts entered the mainstream of public life). The CD accompanying the book contains examples of early games, digital art, independent literary efforts, software created at universities, and home-computer commercial software. Also on the CD is digitized video, documenting new media programs and artwork for which no operational version exists.
