Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Crymble seamlessly integrates print, digital, oral history, and interactive source material to document the ways historians have responded, both individually and as an imagined community, to the social contexts that have shaped our interactions with technology." --
Journal of American History "Crymble gives me a greater appreciation for how my own course in ‘digital history’ fits within and reflects broader patterns of discourse about technology and the past." --
Corinthian Matters "This book explodes many of the foundation myths upon which digital history has been built; and replaces them with a clear-eyed account that melds historiography, technology, and pedagogy. In beautiful prose Crymble has identified the streams of influence that have shaped the field."--Tim Hitchcock, University of Sussex
