Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
"Chapters with impressive breadth, and authors of impressive credentials, covering digital media topic from images to music to games. Digital Media is convincing evidence that computing no longer merely defines 'new media,' but defines a unification of media, highlighting issues of simulation, interactivity, and connection across media topics from the neuroscience of information processing to the production of culture." - Dr. Byron Reeves, Professor of Communication and Director of the Center for the Study of Language and Information, Stanford University
"At a time when all things digital tend to be associated with the internet, this volume serves as a broad-ranging and well-composed reminder that digital media forms exist offline as well as online, and that their current forms of expression come with a long cultural prehistory." - Dr. Klaus Bruhn Jensen, Professor of Media, Cognition, and Communication, University of Copenhagen
