Mechanisms

I've just signed publishing agreements with the MIT Press for my current book project, entitled Mechanisms: New Media and the New Textuality. The book will be out in Fall 2005 (I still have writing left to do on the manuscript).

MIT has published half the books on my shelves, or so it seems; and they make beautiful books besides. I'm very happy. (And for the next eighteen months, very busy.)

I plan to use this space as an occasional sounding board for ideas related to the project, so they'll be more about it here in the future.

Congratulations, Matt! That's great news. I just got the MIT Press catalogue, and there are so many good titles listed it's amazing. And you're right about the aesthetic appeal of their books; they are significantly more attractive than the usual academic press output.
