Hybrid Assignment 12
Due by midnight Tuesday, December 8th (350-400 words).
Part 1. Turner (2006:208-9) argues that “a close look at Wired’s first and most influential five years suggests that the magazine’s vision of the digital horizon emerged in large part from its intellectual and interpersonal affiliations with Kevin Kelly and the Whole Earth network and, through them, from the New Communalist embrace of the politics of consciousness.” How does Turner connect these early affiliations with the interview in the August 1995 issue of Wired between Esther Dyson and Newt Gingrich?
Part 2. Point to a passage from chapter 6 and craft one or two questions that will help guide our discussion next week.
