I ordered 10 cyborg books last week and have been pushing through them, I&#039;m hoping to beef up some of our arguments with references to them, which will also place us within the scholarly discussion of cybernetics and cyborgs<br /> I noticed we managed to write the book without a reference to the cyborg handbook, which is slightly sketchy...<br /> Sent at 4:33 PM on Wednesday<br /> me: awesome! fantastic<br /> hmm -- we wrote without ref to that book? strange<br /> well - perhaps because we reference articles present in it<br /> like the original cyborg paper<br /> Sent at 4:34 PM on Wednesday<br /> Andrew: true, although the cyborg handbook is probably the closest anticedent to what we&#039;re doing, we should probably discuss some of their theses<br /> me: correct ok<br /> we have until sept 15 now<br /> for the book - so there is time<br /> i emailed all the orderers<br /> Andrew: awesome, is that when you&#039;re sending it to rushkoff?<br /> Sent at 4:36 PM on Wednesday<br /> Andrew: also, this editor suggested www.zonebooks.org as a possible publisher after the first print<br /> Sent at 4:38 PM on Wednesday<br /> Andrew: it looks like their an art house subsidary of MIT press, which would be awesome<br /> Sent at 4:40 PM on Wednesday<br /> me: Neat! Okay!<br /> I&#039;ll be sending it to Rushkoff at the end of August.<br /> Sent at 4:44 PM on Wednesday<br /> Andrew: awesome. would you want to send an e-mail to them or at least draft one that makes the case for why they should take on the book (~500 presales, rushkoff, lecture tour, etc.) so we can get the ball rolling on that front?<br /> me: Hmm - good idea. yes. but i can&#039;t do one yet until i prepare for this speech i have to do tomorrow<br /> how about we sit down and do that tomorrow?<br /> Andrew: totally understand<br /> me: i mean -- sunday or sayurday<br /> Andrew: yeah I&#039;m meeting with the editor @ 3, so before or after 6 should work well for me<br /> ah cool<br /> me: okay - sounds good lets do that then<br /> are you meeting the editor tomorrow?<br /> Andrew: yeah<br /> me: ok -- hmmm<br /> Sent at 5:00 PM on Wednesday<br /> me: i literally have no time to do that.<br /> before then<br /> but i can try<br /> Andrew: oh no worries, this is just a good friend/mentor who offered to help with the editing, we can draft a formal proposal on sunday and then start sending them off next week<br /> me: great ok<br /> Andrew: he might have some good input as to what to say and such too that we can incorporate in on sunday<br /> me: great!<br /> Sent at 5:04 PM on Wednesday<br /> me: ok i wrote a draft<br /> Andrew: awesome<br /> Sent at 5:06 PM on Wednesday<br /> me: kay! see you this weekend. use ###<br /> for texting<br /> data is failing on my phone - and it is horrible<br /> i feel cut off as a cyborg<br /> signborg<br /> sighborg*<br /> Andrew: sounds good (should I save this as your normal #?<br /> haha<br /> Sent at 5:10 PM on Wednesday<br /> Andrew: yeah I was phoneless for a few days and i felt impotent, I&#039;m glad to be back to my &quot;normal&quot; self<br /> Sent at 5:11 PM on Wednesday<br /> me: Good!
