This book is a history composed of histories. Its particular
focus is the way in which computers entered and changed the field
of composition studies, a field that defines itself both as a
research community and as a community of teachers. This may have a
somewhat sinister suggestion that technology alone has agency, but
this history (made of histories) is not principally about
computers. It is about people-the teachers and scholars who have
adapted the computer to their personal and professional purposes.
From the authors' perspectives, change in technology drives changes
in the ways we live and work, and we, agents to a degree in control
of our own lives, use technology to achieve our human purposes.
REVIEW: . . . This book reminds those of us now using computers to
teach writing where we have been, and it brings those who are just
entering the field up to date. More important, it will inform
administrators, curriculum specialists, and others responsible for
implementing the future uses of technology in writing instruction.
