“Transforming Cultures and Communities in the Age of Instant Access”

A Professor of mine recommended this book and for those of us concerned with the subject of cell phones and culture I thought this book would be relevant. So far I’m enjoying reading excerpts from this book even though I am using it as a resource for a term paper.

Penguin books has so far published 3 stories based on maps, with 3 coming up in the next three weeks. The first one is “The 21 Steps”, by Charles Cummings. Try it out: http://wetellstories.co.uk/stories/week1/

I find it to be interesting, I’m on chapter 8 so far. It might be more relevant if I had been to the locations themselves, but my imagination has put me into the story, so that whatever the medium, it is still enjoyable.
