Hi, Frederik Lesage and I co-edited a book that came out last week through Palgrave, 'Creative Tools and the Softwarization of Cultural Production.' An interdisciplinary critique and exploration of what being creative in the digital domain means today. link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

Congratulations to Frederik Lesage and Michael Terren on the release of their timely book Creative Tools and the Softwarization of Cultural Production, the latest in our series Creative Working Lives: link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…
