The @authorsguild.org & the @societyofauthors.bsky.social both now have 'human authored' schemes using the same logo to “help to identify the work of authors as being created with uniquely human skill and originality.” My new book is registered as Human Authored with The Authors Guild (#4198549).

Cover finalized! Delighted Nam June Paik's estate allowed his sculpture to feature on the cover. It encapsulates some of the book's important themes: how new media remediates the old, the persistence of traditional media forms, how automation is being built on the back of prior media outputs.

Great to see 1st proofs of my new book, Media Change: Contemporary Cases, Consequences & Conceptualizations. Thanks to @nallen2.bsky.social & Wiley's Social Sciences Team for their help thus far. Pre-ordering is already possible at your favourite online bookseller: www.wiley.com/en-us/Media+...
