Trade ReviewOpen, accessible, engaging, energetic, and enthusing –
Hacking in the Humanitiesexplores essential impulses of today’s digital humanities in the context of their intellectual foundations, their current possibilities, and their necessary reflection of and in the human condition. * Ray Siemens, University of Victoria, Canada *
Not just a ‘how to’ book, this is a ‘why to do it’ book for anyone who seriously uses digital tools for research. Important for those who analyze how things work in the digital realm, especially for academics in the humanities and social sciences, this book goes way beyond simple rules and delves into the deeper sources, and implications, of digital (in)security. Any careful cyborg (and we are all cyborgs!), needs to read this book. It is a matter of our digital well-being, which is just as important as our biological health. * Chris Hables Gray, University of California at Santa Cruz, USA *
