Lori Emerson<p>I've started activating my spy network (otherwise known as "mom") to ask local bookstores to stock my book <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/othernetworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>othernetworks</span></a>, especially since it's back to having a distributor. you too could be my mom? ha? <a href="https://shop.mexicansummer.com/merch/495898-lori-emerson-other-networks-a-radical-technology-sourcebook" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">shop.mexicansummer.com/merch/4</span><span class="invisible">95898-lori-emerson-other-networks-a-radical-technology-sourcebook</span></a></p>
Lori Emerson<p>my new pitch: come to my talk on <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/othernetworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>othernetworks</span></a> and I'll tell you all about my three year long friendship with no other than Squirrelfrend because let it be known that for the first time in 3 years Squirrelfrend let me pet her for a full 5 minutes whilst she ate her Deluxe Nuts. sold?</p>

Lori Emerson<p>sweet mercy. ok, <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/othernetworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>othernetworks</span></a> is back to having a distributor (Ingram) again so you can pre-order your copy from nearly any bookseller in the world or, still, direct from the publisher---&gt; <a href="https://shop.mexicansummer.com/merch/495898-lori-emerson-other-networks-a-radical-technology-sourcebook" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">shop.mexicansummer.com/merch/4</span><span class="invisible">95898-lori-emerson-other-networks-a-radical-technology-sourcebook</span></a></p>

Lori Emerson<p>lecture-performance on <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/othernetworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>othernetworks</span></a> titled "This Will Have Been a Network: Against Good Sense"</p>
Lori Emerson<p>is really getting into the idea of giving a lecture-performance for my upcoming book talks on <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/othernetworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>othernetworks</span></a> - but can't quite figure out what that might look like. right now I'm imagining an extra straight recitation of the when/where/how of some networks accompanied with an analog slideshow...or does this all sound a little too cute?</p>
Lori Emerson<p>grateful to Jennifer Waits for adding the pamphlet <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://post.lurk.org/@rose_alibi" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>rose_alibi</span></a></span> and I wrote, Build Your Own Mini FM Transmitter, to the internet archive collection "Digital Library of Amateur Radio Communications" <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/othernetworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>othernetworks</span></a> <a href="https://archive.org/details/fmtransmitterRevised" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">archive.org/details/fmtransmit</span><span class="invisible">terRevised</span></a></p>

Lori Emerson<p>It was a DAY, as they say. But in between the chaos, a cute lil’ robot showed up at the <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://post.lurk.org/@mediaarchaeologylab" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>mediaarchaeologylab</span></a></span> as did the most perfect <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/othernetworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>othernetworks</span></a> Lite Brite display at the MAL pop up!

Lori Emerson<p>_Other Networks 2: Beyond the Internet Imaginary_! finally figured out the title for the follow-up volume to _Other Networks: A Radical Technology Sourcebook_ (assuming some publisher somewhere is game).this title allows me to talk about the whole range of alt protocols, internetworks, networks from thge 1970s-1990s I couldn't get to in v. 1 while still underscoring the need to think beyond internet ideology <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/othernetworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>othernetworks</span></a></p>

Lori Emerson<p>is a bit crushed to learn that Anthology Editions will shut down July 1. they are still publishing <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/othernetworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>othernetworks</span></a> but instead of a print run of 4000, they'll print 1000 with extremely limited promo/marketing...thems are the breaks, I guess and I know there are much worse things in the world right now. anyone interested in owning a copy can officially pre-order a copy through the publisher website next week. I will definitely share a link and if you'd help me out with any boosts I sure would appreciate it! the sooner the 1000 copies get bought up, the sooner I can hopefully find another publisher to pick it up. grateful, as always and forever, for everyone's support of this three year long labor of love! <a href="https://loriemerson.net/2024/03/14/table-of-contents-for-other-networks-a-radical-technology-sourcebook/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">loriemerson.net/2024/03/14/tab</span><span class="invisible">le-of-contents-for-other-networks-a-radical-technology-sourcebook/</span></a></p>
