The Language of New Media (2001), by Lev Manovich
"Quite often we consider the phrase 'new media' to imply that the digital age somehow appeared without a history. Manovich places it in a larger context. He talks about the database and interface as cultural artifacts going back to cave painting, where you walked along a wall to get a story. Where once the interface drew analogies from the real world, now the real world is absorbing and materializing these ideas. If you're interested in finding a new way to discuss new media art, it's a must-read."
