[Air-L] internet studies book list

[Chris Peterson]

Hi all —

I wanted to bump this thread last year for anyone (including me) updating
their syllabi / reading lists for this spring.

tl;dr: if you put the ISBN number of an "internet studies" book you
recommend (yours or anyone else's) in the this google form
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf_WaVIdg9Rh--nodpMWYKpLSj03zxouh5YlzbSwGH_VchAww/viewform>,
it will automatically pull in other information from the Google Books API
into the public spreadsheet backend
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ik83LPyjjqQLfWim53CEObnXdiVDqSkGJ0lCDqayeUo/edit#gid=452498815>

Best,

—  Chris
