[Air-L] Ideas for topics for "Emerging Technology in New Media" Module

Hello, David -

Geert Lovink and Miriam Rausch's edited collection Unlike Us is a free
book (available online) with many essays exploring social media, but I
think more appropriate for the "emerging" aspect, alternatives to social
media. These essays get at the question of how to build new systems when
one is critical of the old.

The download page for the book is here:
http://networkcultures.org/wpmu/portal/publication/unlike-us-reader-social-media-monopolies-and-their-alternatives/
. There are several formats (PDF, epub).

Regards,

Rob Gehl
