"Gitelman's "Always Already New" artfully reconfigures our critical
thinking about the material, social, and institutional contexts
that have produced 'new media.' In this beautifully written book,
she brings 'pastness' into an enlightening conversation with our
current, complex engagement with the digital datasphere."--Thom
Swiss, interdisciplinary scholar, University of Minnesota, coeditor
of "New Media Poetics"
"Lisa Gitelman is a brilliant scholar.... [She] uses new
historicist, philosophical, and technological observations to make
a compelling case."-- M. E. DiPaulo, "Choice"
"Smart and engaging..... This book is an invitation to do media
history in the archives; at the same time, it keeps reminding us
that the archives ain't the archives anymore and that any
historical account is dependent on the media forms it uses."-- John
Nerone, "Journal of American History"
