Recommended.” -- S.E. Vie * Choice *\u003cbr\u003e“It is often the case that I read a book that inspires me to rethink a particular phenomenon. However, it is rare that a book challenges me to think differently about what it means to think. Katie King's \u003ci\u003eNetworked Reenactments\u003c\/i\u003e accomplishes both things. It is, in significant ways, a very tough act to follow.”  -- Joy V.
