One interesting conversation that will never take place is one between novelist H.G. Wells and someone like human rights advocate Kelly Matheson of WITNESS (c. early 21st century). In the book “Digital Culture,” Wells was quoted as pre-figuring the Internet (although his limited 20th century horizon was focused only on the then-emerging medium of photography) […]  I needed a couple infusions of caffeine to get through the beginning and middle of the Week 2 Gere reading (Digital Culture) as I have no previous background in concepts like Cybernetics and Structuralism. But as I came to the last 20 pages, I was genuinely fascinated by the development of the current personal computer […] Perhaps Lee Siegel’s “Burying the Hatchet” should have been titled “Swinging the Wrecking Ball.” From the get-go, he seems more interested in tearing down some aspects of his own industry than in turning his back on his time as a hatchet-man.
