Digital storytelling uses new media tools and platforms to tell stories. The second wave of digital storytelling started in the 1990s with the rise of
popular video production, then progressed in the new century to encompass newer, social media technologies. The New Digital Storytelling: Creating
Narratives with New Media is the first book that gathers these new, old, and emergent practices in one place, and provides a historical context for
these methods.

Daily life is connected life, its rhythms driven by endless email pings and responses, the chimes and beeps of continually arriving text
messages, tweets and retweets, Facebook updates, pictures and videos to post and discuss. Some worry that this new environment
makes us isolated and lonely. But in Networked, Lee Rainie and Barry Wellman show how the large, loosely knit social circles of
networked individuals expand opportunities for learning, problem solving, decision making, and personal interaction.

The debate over whether the Net is good or bad for us fills the airwaves and the blogosphere. But for all the heat of claim and counter-claim,
the argument is essentially beside the point: It’s here; it’s everywhere. The real question is, do we direct technology, or do we let ourselves
be directed by it and those who have mastered it? “Choose the former,” writes Rushkoff, “and you gain access to the control panel of civilization.
Choose the latter, and it could be the last real choice you get to make.”

Boken handler om litterære tekster som må leses på en datamaskin, og retter et særlig blikk på skandinaviske tekster. Sentralt i boka står
spørsmål om hva denne typen litteratur gjør med vår forestilling om hva litteratur er, samt hvordan vi kan analysere slike litterære tekster.
Boka er strukturert etter noen karakteristiske trekk ved digital litteratur: det hypertekstuelle, det multimodale, det kybertekstuelle, det
intermediale og det sosiale.

Gode, kritiske samlinger om sosiale medier m.m. fra Institute of Network Cultures:

Critical Point of View: A Wikipedia Reader
For millions of internet users around the globe, the search for new knowledge begins with Wikipedia. The encyclopedia’s rapid rise, novel
organization, and freely offered content have been marveled at and denounced by a host of commentators. Critical Point of View moves
beyond unflagging praise, well-worn facts, and questions about its reliability and accuracy, to unveil the complex, messy, and controversial
realities of a distributed knowledge platform.

Video Vortex Reader
The Video Vortex Reader is the first collection of critical texts to deal with the rapidly emerging world of online video – from its explosive rise
in 2005 with YouTube, to its future as a significant form of personal media.

Video Vortex II Reader
Video Vortex Reader II is the Institute of Network Cultures' second collection of texts that critically explore the rapidly changing landscape
of online video and its use. With the success of YouTube ('2 billion views per day') and the rise of other online video sharing platforms,
the moving image has become expansively more popular on the Web, significantly contributing to the culture and ecology of the internet
and our everyday lives.

From weak ties to organized networks
In March 2009 INC brought 12 networks to Amsterdam for a week of getting things done. Aim was to connect the virtual with the real in
order to find out how distributed social networks can collaborate more effectively. The more people start working together online, the more
urgent it becomes to develop sustainable network models.

The Art and Politics of Netporn
C’Lick Me: A Netporn Studies Reader is an anthology that collects the best material from two years of debate from The Art and Politics
of Netporn 2005 conference to the 2007 C’Lick Me festival.
