<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
Dear all,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
At long last, my beloved book, <i>Other Networks:A Radical Technology Sourcebook</i>, is officially available from Anthology Editions for pre-order
<span style="color: rgb(70, 120, 134);"><u><a href="https://shop.mexicansummer.com/merch/495898-lori-emerson-other-networks-a-radical-technology-sourcebook" data-outlook-id="b0f81f2d-0072-4cae-b6cb-d57be219abcc" style="color: rgb(70, 120, 134); margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">here</a></u></span>!
Sadly, despite publishing many beautifully designed art books, the publisher won’t be around for much longer which means there are only 1000 copies available of
<i>Other Networks</i>. If you think you’d like a copy, consider pre-ordering as soon as you can manage it.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
With deep gratitude to my editor <span style="color: rgb(70, 120, 134);"><u><a href="https://iosifescu.biz/" data-outlook-id="dd36ac4b-a0d0-493b-a411-db1aa7f6cfd6" style="color: rgb(70, 120, 134); margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Mark Iosifescu</a></u></span>,

<i>Other Networks</i> catalogs 80+ networks that preceded or existed outside of the internet. It is also an educational project that comes out of my belief that we are all capable both of understanding networks from the past and of building alternative networks
for the future; a love letter to experimental art and technology; and a liberatory guide for escaping the corporate present. The design brilliantly both recalls the long history of telecommunications networks (exemplified by late 19th century/early 20th century
telegraph and telephone manuals) and rewrites that same history to have a more global perspective and to include more women; Black, Indigenous, and People of Color; and artist experiments with/on these pre-internet networks.</p>
