Computers and Writing: The Cyborg Era

In this publication, James Inman explores the landscape of the contemporary computers and writing community. Its six chapters engage critical issues, including redefining the community’s generally accepted history, connecting its contemporary innovators with its long-standing spirit of innovation, advocating for increased access and diversity, and more. Between chapters, readers will find Community Voices sections, which provide a snapshot of contemporary computers and writing community and introduce, in a non-hierarchical form, more than 100 of its members from around the world, in their own voices. The book features a simultaneous emphasis on individuals, communities and contexts they share; a creative rethinking of the character and values of the computers and writing community; a holistic exploration of meaning-making; and an activist approach to pedagogy.
