Commentary The Wired Neighborhood: An Extended Multimedia Conversation Bob Johnson Miami University Oxford, OH 45056 johnson_bob@msmail.muohio.edu 7 " T elcome to a multivoiced review of Stephen Doheny-Farina's ~ f I newest book, The WiredNeighborhood. The following I~ ¢ review consists of five parts, and as the above title sug~dP'~ gests, is the product of several different media. Conse ¢ ¢ quenfly, I think a litde forecasting of what you are about to read is in order. ¢ To begin, several parts of the review are the product of an Institute held at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, from June 5-8, 1997. The topic of the institute was technology and science studies from a humanistic perspective, and it included invited speakers such as Sandra Harding, Langdon Winner, and Anne Balsamo, and most relevant to our present discussion, Steve Doheny-Farina. The Institute was preceded by a three-week graduate seminar which I cotaught with a colleague of mine at Miami, Mice Adams. As you might have already guessed, one of the texts for the seminar was The WiredNeighbor. hood. The book raised a number of interesting issues, so interesting that several of the students wished to take the classroom discussions a step further and actually engage Steve in an extended dialogue about his book. Thus, the following collection of reviews consists of a descriptive summary and two reviews of the book by two Miami graduate students (Becky Graham and Mike Rubingh). Also, an in-depth interview with Steve was conducted by three of the students (Becky, Mike, and Chris Colon). A transcript of that interview is included at the end of the review collection. In addition, two distinguished technical communication colleagues who did not attend the conference, Professors NancyAUenand Ann Blakeslee of Eastern Michigan University, have provided a review for us that consists of an extended email conversation they had this summer concerning The Wired ~ Neighborhood. So, as you can see, we have several print reviews, an electronically-mediated conversation, and an actual in-person oral discussion of the book. I believe that this multimedia approach will not only prove interesting to you, but it also reflects many of the issues covered by the book: physical and virtual space, the mind and the body, education, the workplace, our communities, knowledge vs. information, and on and on. I hope you enjoy the conversation.
