Revisiting the Golden List of New Media Titles

The Golden List of New Media Titles has been praised and criticized. We are fully aware that a canon is always incomplete, consists of insufficient texts concerning the field it promises to cover and remains therefore tentative. That makes a canon a subject of discussion and heated debates. We want to use this dynamic to review the field of new media and the cultural texts that have been influential in shaping it. Therefore we invite you to send in the titles (films, games, fiction and non-fiction books, as well as music) you find important for students of new media. Tell us why these texts make a difference and why they need to be considered in studying new media.
