Let’s move into the positive. Many interesting things are happening by friends out there who are making/writing cool stuff.
Media Meltdown: Written by Liam O’ Donnell, I had a chance to consult on the media lit portion of this gem of a comic. It’s about a group of kids who learn to fight a greedy development through positive uses of the media. I’m very please about how it came out. You can go to the book’s Website for more info.
DK and the MediaSnackers team have put out there cool little booklet, Zen and the Heart of Social Media. At the site you can download a PDF for free until March. Whereas I’ve been a bit of a curmudgeon lately, these guys are working on highlighting the positive side of the social media revolution. Maybe I can learn a thing or two.
My pal Erik Davis has this nice piece at H+ Magazine, Chronic Citizen: Jonathan Lethem on P.K. Dick, Why Novels are a Weird Technology, and Constructed Realities. I haven’t read Letham’s Chronic City yet, but I look forward to reading it over the break.
Many thanks for the feature of our little publication my friend – just to clarify, you can read it online for free and download the pdf to takeaway for a little price
Have a great Crimbo…
