I made a starter pack of my authors (and some other authors from fields like STS and comm) here @mitpress.bsky.social. Let me know if you want to be added, either because I missed you, or because you have a book you are interested in publishing!

Today my newest @mitpress.bsky.social, THE UNSEEN INTERNET, is officially out in the world.
Here’s the argument:
At the dawn of cyberculture a lot of people on online were intentionally doing magic. And now it feels like we’re all kind of doing magic.

@chiltonm.bsky.social and I are the new Books Editors for Exploits! I had the pleasure of editing this month’s review of Chain Gang All Stars.
The February Exploits is out! I've been talking a lot about Unwinnable Monthly lately, but Exploits is the other Unwinnable-produced magazine, our on-going cultural diary. 16 pages of thoughtful recommendations and the occasional warning.

Are you teaching courses that use the current edition? Would you be excited to adopt a new edition for your course? This is a very low-fidelity survey, but I'd love to hear from you if you have thoughts
