(1/2) Just learned that the Italian translation of Algorithmic Culture Before the Internet was just published earlier this month by Mimesis. I knew it was in the works but wasn't aware that it was out. Exciting! 🇮🇹 www.mimesisedizioni.it/libro/979122...

Rereading a selection from García-Canclini's Hybrid Cultures (1989/1995) this morning was like peering back into a lost world.
