""The first history of film was written in 1894, when cinema had not been born yet. A quarter of the twenty-first century has elapsed, and no global history of digital media is still in sight. It would be a daunting task, worthy of a Jorge Luis Borges story, but Jones and Jancovic have succeeded in writing a key chapter of it. Don't be deterred by its acronyms: you don't have to be a computer geek to enjoy getting lost in the labyrinth of media archives' quixotic struggle against impermanence.""--Paolo Cherchi Usai, George Eastman Museum
