Book Synopsis


Trade Review

"Jeff Scheible argues that when writing—and all of culture—is undergoing radical change through the overwhelming adoption of networked and programmable media, it is possible to detect and analyze these changes in the encompassing details, in the cultural logic of punctuation, for example. This book is highly engaging. Scheible’s arguments are compelling and provocative."—John Cayley, Brown University
