Announcing Other Networks: A Radical Technology Sourcebook, a speculative index of communications networks, a love letter to experimental art and technology, and a liberatory guide for escaping the corporate present.

Lori Emerson—writer, researcher, and founding director of the University of Colorado Boulder’s renowned Media Archaeology Lab—has spent years compiling and cataloguing a revolutionary history of communications networks, one full of alternatives to the monolithic, surveilled internet as we now know it. The result is Other Networks, a grand compendium of possibilities that existed before or outside of the internet and a tribute to their experimental use by artists, covering everything from pirate radio to barbed wire telegraph, from synthesizers that transmitted over the telephone to encoded messages bounced off the surface of the moon. Featuring additional texts by Joanne McNeil and Howard Rheingold and original artwork by Robert Beatty, Other Networks: A Radical Technology Sourcebook is a lovingly designed archival reference and a manual for rethinking our world.
