2.0
I paid just $5 for this book, and I feel ripped off. It's basically a dozen magazine articles stapled together, with no larger pattern of organization, context, or critique. The book gives people who probably don't need another soapbox a place to ramble on about 'digital disruptions' and how their idea about ceap-accredited digital courses is going to totally reshape the academy, without any kind of questioning or response. I'm not sure what the purpose of Rebooting the Academy is, but I can guarantee it fails at it.
That said, Kathleen Fitzpatrick's work on reorienting the MLA towards digital humanities is interesting, as well as John Wilkin's HathiTrust digital library. But 2 out of 12 is not a good reason to buy or read this book.
