Get yourself an early Christmas present and enjoy this exceptional reader which supports and develops themes of group show The Influencing Machine (nGbK, Berlin). In fact, get yourself six copies, as images from my website are wrapping the inside covers in six different ways. I’ve seen a couple of preview copies, and it looks like it might be the last word in all things bot vs hand.

The Publication addresses the exhibition’s various questions, extending its focus to historical continuities and social contexts, with contributions by Geoffrey C. Bowker and Susan Leigh Star, Simone Brown, Wendy Hui Kyong Chun, Kashmir Hill, Lilly Irani, Lee Mackinnon, Tahani Nadim, Lucy Suchman, Cher Tan, and Neli Wagner.
