On a Silver Platter: CD-ROMs and the Promises of a New Technology
Jason Tomes
The contributors to this book examine how CD-ROMs offer alternatives to familiar places, especially classrooms. They argue that CD-ROMs are complex texts worthy of consideration for how they have changed our understanding of space and genre, and how they will affect the development of future media.
