I’ve decided to read Henry Jenkins’ Convergence Culture and then report on this work in my context book report. A few reasons for this choice:
- During the 1980s and early 1990’s I worked at MIT. Occasionally I would receive a misdirected email message for him (our email addresses were different by just one character) and so we would interact every so often. We never did meet, but I remembered enough to make a mental Post-It …
- and, just a few weeks ago, that mental Post-It came up once again and I found his blog, which I am now following with interest …
- and, finally, the reviews I’ve read are sufficiently varied that I feel this will be an interesting read.
I hope it’ll arrive at my SFPL branch before I return some books this weekend.
Super cool! Good choice. I would really like to meet him.
