  -Derrida, The Book to Come
  
  

  What does a book look like when it is not a book? What does scholarship look like when it is designed to be on the web?

• The Nodes

  The Nodes house the longer critiques in this project, writings on democracy in the age of the digital network. Each node investigates one area of this topic. Most nodes are “chapter length” analysis. Unlike chapters though there is not a distinct linear progression instead one can access the nodes in various orders, and see how they connect to other nodes via the content map. Currently, each node is published using Comment Press, enabling paragraph level conversation about the material.
