Re: [NetBehaviour] need suggestions, thank you in advance

Thank you for this! The prehistory I can cover without a book; I knew a lot of people involved at the time. But the course is on the Internet unfortunately and I feel I should start with Lovelace, jump to Cerf etc. and then into BBS, very early mail lists around 1971 and then thru TCP/IP and packet

Hi Paul, Thank you for this! Greatly appreciated. I ordered the Social Media book. I think I'm going to do the packets on the fly; otherwise I'd spend more than the course is paying for texts! (And it may well not make.) Best, Alan, thanks again - On Sun, Jun 14, 2020 at 2:09 PM Paul Hertz via Ne

For older net communities, Judy Malloy's book https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/social-media-archeology-and-poetics. I haven't read it yet, but have been reading her notes on FB and her web pages. Some of the essays in her earlier book https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/women-art-and-technology were peren

Re: [NetBehaviour] need suggestions, thank you in advance

Interesting - I can't afford the book, but that's ok. I can draw on my own experience with minicomputers (I used a Terak way back) and the pieces I produced with them. It's odd, there doesn't seem to be a "general" text. I found an old Routledge, Cantoni and Tardini, Internet, but it's from 2006. F

Hi Alan, I don't know how much you want a foundational text versus a contemporary text. I found Annemarie Chandler and Norie Neumark's anthology *At a Distance: Precursors to Art and Activism on the Internet* useful for the "Prehistories of New Media" course I taught: https://mitpress.mit.edu/book

Hi - if it makes I'll be teaching a course on Internet Culture and Community this fall online; I'm writing to ask if you could recommend a textbook of sorts that I might use as a reference. None of the books I've seen are in date. I need it to cover some of Net history, a brief description of
