SUMMARY:Celebrating Recent Work by Dennis Tenen
DESCRIPTION:This book challenges the ways we read\, write\, store\, and ret
 rieve information in the digital age. Computers—from elect
 ronic books to smart phones—play an active role in our soc
 ial lives. Our technological choices thus entail theoretical
  and political commitments. Dennis Tenen takes up today's st
 range enmeshing of humans\, texts\, and machines to argue that
  our most ingrained intuitions about texts are profoundly al
 ienated from the physical contexts of their intellectual pro
 duction. Drawing on a range of primary sources from both lit
 erary theory and software engineering\, he makes a case for a
  more transparent practice of human–computer interaction.Â
  Plain Text is thus a rallying call\, a frame of mind as muc
 h as a file format. It reminds us\, ultimately\, that our devi
 ces also encode specific modes of governance and control tha
 t must remain available to interpretation.
