It is the place to start, if you want to understand the Age of Cyberspace." Mark R. Levy, former Editor, Journal of Communication, and Director for Research in Public Communication, Universityof Maryland "Mediamorphosis will be required reading for my students. More than most of today's books on new média, Mediamorphosis presents a clearly articulated vision of the future of new média, including understandable expositions of the role of technology in shaping the future. Roger Fidler draws upon his personal experience to help the reader understand that many visions of the future run aground for a wide variety of reasons." A. Michael Noll, Professor of Communication, Annenberg School for Communication, University of Southern Califomia "Visions of the future abound, and time will prove most less realistic than a Buck Rogers comic strip. In contrast, Roger Fidler elaborates a set of intellectual tools with which we can analytically infer the most likely paths to the future. Identifying the dominant traits of basic communication forms and the major principles that have guided the historical evolution of communication, Mediamorphosis applies these concepts to the onrush of technological and social change in journalism and mass communication." Maxwell McCombs, Jesse H. Jones Centennial Professor in Communications, University of Texas, Austin i "Mediamorphosis is an insightful and extremely useful analysis of the problems we face in creating new média and -A genres in the cyberage. Provocative case histories provide a wonderful grounding for Fidler's creative framework for the enactment of a new media.This is a delightful book." John Seely Brown, ChiefScientist for Xerox Corporation and Director of Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) "Mediamorphosis is the product of Roger Fidler's originál mind and persistent explorations in the world of new média and cyberspace.This is a book that goes beyond the theory of convergence into its past, present, and future operations that affect média and people."
