  1. The Language of New Media

    In this influential book Manovich proposes five principles of new media: 1) Numerical representation: new media objects exist as data. 2) Modularity: the different elements of new media exist independently. 3) Automation: new media objects can be created and modified automatically. 4) Variability: new media objects exist in multiple versions. 5) Transcoding: The logic of the computer influences how we understand and represent ourselves. Another often cited point in the book is his discussion of database aesthetics and database narratives. Manovich's work is based in cinema studies and his book was especially rapidly taken up in media studies departments.

  2. Hyperfiktion und interaktive Narration

    Mit Hyperfiktion hat sich ein Phänomen herausgebildet, das sich die Verbindung von Literatur und Computertechnik schöpferisch zu Nutzen macht und experimentell nach neuen Formen sucht. Die entstehenden Hybridformen sind in erster Linie beliebig manipulierbare binäre Daten, die in mehrfacher Hinsicht von transitorischer Flüchtigkeit geprägt sind. Die Bewegung der Hyperfiktion und Netzliteratur steht noch am Anfang: in einer experimentellen Frühphase. So ist die Spurenaufnahme und Analyse ihrer Entwicklung immer auch ein Balanceakt zwischen Archäologie und Futurologie. Diese Arbeit versucht innerhalb dieser beiden Pole Grundlagenarbeit zu leisten für eine neue experimentelle Form von Literatur.

  7. Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace

    Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace is a 1999 book by Lawrence Lessig on the structure and nature of regulation of the Internet.

    The primary idea of the book, as expressed in the title, is the notion that computer code (or "West Coast Code", referring to Silicon Valley) regulates conduct in much the same way that legal code (or "East Coast Code", referring to Washington, D.C.) does. More generally, Lessig argues that there are actually four major regulators (Law, Norms, Market, Architecture) each of which has a profound impact on society and whose implications must be considered (sometimes called the "pathetic dot theory", after the "dot" that is constrained by these regulators.)
