Only buy if it's absolutely required
The only reason to own this book is if it's essential to your grade. The essays cover topics you could research as well online.

This review is from: The New Media Reader (Hardcover)
This huge tome is a must have for anyone who wants to deeply understand hypertext and its precursors. From William Burroughs to Doug Englebart and Augosto Boal to Ted Nelson this book presents a huge range of articles (and discursive commentary) of interest to computer scientists, writers, new media workers, artists and everyone in between. This is one stop shopping for new media literacy with over 800 pages of good stuff, much of it very hard to find outside of this volume.

Well done!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Media Reader (Hardcover)
Fascinating, thorough in its analysis, beautifully designed reader/player. Good, well-rounded selection of texts and new media objects with no attempt to be exhaustive (to the editors' credit). I plan to use it as one of the texts in an upcoming university course.

Dry Read,
This review is from: The New Media Reader (Hardcover)
The concepts of the book are very interesting, and some of the articles are engaging, but overall I found this book to be an tedious and dry read.

Excellent Condition As Promised,
This review is from: The New Media Reader (Hardcover)
The book arrived within 5 days, with very few markings as the description stated. I wasn't expecting the CD because it wasn't in the item details, so that was a plus. Overall I'm very happy with this product.
