M. Crumpton said Rosetta Stone of Hypertext. 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.. Staple for anyone interested in New or Digital Media Anna A staple for anyone interested in Digital and New Media. Includes a range of articles from a wealth of authors, spanning several decades and topics ranging from hypertext to software and everything in-between. This book is full of historical milestones and influential works, and it's a great way to get an understanding of the field as it developed.. Well done! 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.
