In progress: On information infrastructures

Reading/Making:

The Master Switch (Wu, Tim)
Reality Hunger: A Manifesto (Shields, David)
Lifespan of a Fact (D'Agata, John; Fingal, Jim)
Wealth of Networks (Benkler, Yochai) (http://www.benkler.org/wonchapters.html)
Some of the other standard reads on bad internet/good internet, though most are outdated in what they anticipate: http://chronicle.com/article/Geeks-at-the-Beach-10-Summer/127762/?sid=at&utm_source=at&utm_medium=en

(I don't have a copy of D'Agata's book, the rest are on dropbox here: https://www.dropbox.com/home/Public/Info%20Infra)

Starting Small - 1000 select readings

While I set out to post bibliographies, I bumped into this ginormous collection of philosophy and cultural theory texts, writings by all important philosophers alphabetically. Might be useful if you are looking for a stray essay. They are currently hosted on a dropbox but I am working on better ways to share.

Till then, knock yourselves out.
