• Sommario/riassunto: Trevor Owens' 'After Disruption: A Future for Cultural Memory' explores the impact of disruptive technologies on cultural memory and digital preservation. The book examines the challenges posed by the digital age to traditional methods of preserving collective memories and cultural heritage.
