Book Description

This second edition of New Media Futures anchors a foundational course in a New Media Program, which treats social research, media management, and media production as central to media education. While maintaining an emphasis on aesthetics, design, and production, this updated edition situates new media within broader questions of human behavior and disciplinary practice. The book examines intersections between communication and adjacent fields, and engages emerging debates in attention, information, artificial intelligence, and future-oriented methods. Designed to support intellectually-adventurous engagement, the text encourages readers to connect concepts across domains while developing a sensibility about communication’s role in shaping possible futures.
