Recommendations for short literary fiction and films on "digital culture"?
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 *Emma Stamm, MS* *PhD Student & Instructor, Department of Religion and Culture* *Virginia State Polytechnic University* *www.realyou.me <http://www.realyou.me> | @turing_tests*
This BBC documentary titled *The Joy of Data* is a pretty good overview of digital culture... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xgp7BIBtPhk 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... http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/14/magazine/the-great-ai-awakening.html Ted Mooney's book *Easy Travel to Other Planets* contains many digital motifs focused around, e.g., information sickness and overload.

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:

Amazon's series *Humans* is fun and interesting, with a storyline focused on "synths" or android bots with the ability to think and feel. On Tue, Dec 20, 2016 at 1:58 PM, Liana Gross Furini < lianagrossfurini@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Emma, Ted Chiang's work is great - "The Story of Your Life" is getting buzz because of the film Arrival, but I think "The Truth of Fact, the Truth of Feeling" would be especially good for a class on digital culture: https://subterraneanpress.com/magazine/fall_2013/the_truth_of_fact_the_truth...

I'd also recommend Cory Doctorow's Anda's Game - it goes into some of the same issues as the recommended novel but might work better for a class like this. There's a great blog post about race and ethnicity in Second Life here: http://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2006/02/the_skin_youre_.html The Guild is a fantastic fictional web series for introducing people to digital and gaming culture. It has a relatively diverse cast and is created by Felicia Day. You can find some great recommendations for work by African-American creators in Womack's *Afrofuturism: The Work of Black Sci-Fi and Fantasy Culture* along with her commentary on the genre as a whole. I'd also love to see the syllabus when you're done! On Tue, Dec 20, 2016 at 11:33 AM, Sarah Myers West <sarahmye@usc.edu> wrote:

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!

How about Cory Doctorow's "Little Brother"? Would that be something like what you're looking for? It's a full novel, but reads fast. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Brother_(Doctorow_novel) Chema.
Emma: One of my favorites from a feminist SF class I took was "The Girl Who Was Plugged In." by James Tiptree, Jr. / Alice Sheldon. I know it's in the anthology *Her Smoke Rose Up Forever*. It was originally published in 1974 but I think its themes and narrative still apply. Also a good place to check is *The Mammoth Book of SF Stories by Women* although nothing leaps to mind in terms of titles. Much of them were more about relationships to technology and/or space than anything leaning more cyberpunk-ish and that's where it sounds like you're leaning. There's also this list of Afrofuturism which might be worth poking around: http://afrofuturism.net/literature. I have not had the chance to yet. Some good authors to look at are Butler and Hopkinson as well. I have read some short stories by them (nothing that 'fits' the theme) and don't know if they have written anything which would be a better fit. Although, I can say that I enjoyed both authors. Last, this seems like a good place to look as well: https://iansales.com/2014/04/17/women-only-science-fiction-anthologies/ My favorite PK Dick story remains a tie between "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" and "We Can Remember it for You Wholesale." Hope this helps, -Michelle Alexander On Tue, Dec 20, 2016 at 9:37 AM, Emma Stamm <stamm@vt.edu> wrote:

If you're going to use the Humans series, I recommend checking out the original Swedish one <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Humans>. The English one is a pretty close copy, true, but the original is effective and it's important to go back to the originals and to introduce your students to a wide range of media. Look through some of the Black Mirror episodes too, both the series on Netflix and the original British version. They do a good job of messing around with digital culture. Ready Player One <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ready_Player_One>is an interesting take on digital culture and gaming culture; don't know if that applies. Also, look at Feed by Mira Grant <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feed_(Grant_novel)>. I know, zombie book, but it use zombie drama as a stage for the rise of blogging culture, which is an interesting way to play out the zombie trope. Zombies are becoming their own genre, anyway, next to scifi, so, there you go. On 21 December 2016 at 07:58, Michelle Alexander <malex2xp@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Emma, I don't think anyone has mentoined the Spike Jonze film Her, which I've used in a digital culture class (first-year and somphomore mainly) a few times to great effect. It pairs particularly well with Ex Machina, very different of course but with some interesting comparative elements. Sounds like an exciting class!
