Description: "The new media field has been developing for more than 50 years. This reader collects the texts, videos, and computer programs - many of them now almost impossible to find - that chronicle the history and form the foundation of this still-emerging field. General introductions by Janet H. Murray and Lev Manovich, along with short introductions to each of the selections, place the works in their historical context and explain their significance." "The texts are from computer scientists, artists, architects, literary writers, interface designers, cultural critics, and individuals working across disciplines. They were originally published between World War II (when digital computing, cybernetic feedback, and early notions leading to hypertext and the Internet first appeared) and the emergence of the World Wide Web (when these concepts entered the mainstream of public life)."--BOOK JACKET.
