Summary

""Memory Bytes" is an important contribution to the growing body of scholarship taking the current moment of media change as an incitement to re-examine earlier moments in media history. The range of media, historical periods, and disciplinary perspectives is spectacular, representing interdisciplinary collaboration and conversation at its very best."--Henry Jenkins, coeditor of "Hop on Pop: The Politics and Pleasures of Popular Culture"
