Much science fiction has humans talking to computers, an early example being HAL in the movie 2001 in 1968. That vision motivated many people to attempt making the imagined technology real, including the author, who founded a company developing speech recognition technology in the 1980s. Speech recognition was an early part of Artificial Intelligence, computers doing a task that had previously been exclusive to humans, and proved to be more difficult than early pioneers expected. The Lost History of “Talking to Computers” documents 27 years of those efforts; the source of the history is the author’s 309 monthly issues of a newsletter tracking the hundreds of companies trying to make a business out of this challenging technology. Today, we talk to computers frequently on our smartphones (e.g., Apple’s Siri or Google Assistant) or to a home speaker (e.g., Amazon’s Alexa) and often when we telephone a customer service number. Most doctors use computer transcription of their notes for Electronic Healthcare Systems. Speech recognition is teaching how to speak a new language and finding specific content in a video file. How did we get here and where will it take us? What can we learn from this history that has implications for the huge investments in more general AI today? Readers will be amazed at how many companies were inspired by this challenge beginning more than three decades ago.

Setting out a history of cyberspace and its relationship with the discipline that was to become digital humanities, this book is an account of an often-forgotten period of internet history in the 1990s when this medium was in its infancy. It provides a detailed account of the concepts of 'cyberspace' and the 'virtual', which were characteristic of a perception that using the internet allowed users to enter a separate space from everyday life- a world elsewhere. In doing so, it argues that this libertarian idea of the internet framed it as a new frontier, where the rules of the everyday world did not and should not apply, and where the individual could find freedom. These early norms and the regrettable lack of regulation that was a consequence of them, this book argues, contributed to many of current issues with internet media. including of toxic communication, disinformation and over-commercialisation

Computer games are one of the most exciting and rapidly evolving media of our time. Revenues from console and computer games have now overtaken those from Hollywood movies; and online gaming is one of the fastest-growing areas of the internet. Games are no longer just kids' stuff: the majority of players are now adults, and the market is constantly broadening. The visual style of games has become increasingly sophisticated, and the complexities of game-play are ever more challenging. Meanwhile, the iconography and generic forms of games are increasingly influencing a whole range of other media, from films and television to books and toys. This book provides a systematic, comprehensive introduction to the analysis of computer and video games. It introduces key concepts and approaches drawn from literary, film and media theory in an accessible and concrete manner; and it tests their use and relevance by applying them to a small but representative selection of role-playing and action-adventure games. It combines methods of textual analysis and audience research, showing how the combination of such methods can give a more complete picture of these playable texts and the fan cultures they generate. Clearly written and engaging, it will be a key text for students in the field and for all those with an interest in taking games seriously.
