Description: "Datacloud examines information work from a broad range of viewpoints in order to construct a better understanding of how and why we use computer technologies as we do. Constructing a post-disciplinary theoretical framework from disciplines including rhetoric, technical communication, cultural studies, architecture, and more. Datacloud interrogates how people work in a variety of contexts, both computer-supported and analog. Using examples drawn from classrooms, recording studios, offices, and parking lots. Datacloud constructs a theoretical and practical apparatus for re-thinking communication and work in the age of saturated information spaces."--Jacket.
