This is my book.

I write about media and performance.

I'm currently at work on a second book, tentatively titled Fake People, that considers digital performances of approximation, verisimilitude, and dissembling through a theatrical lens.  I shared early content from this project at Interpolations 1, a new symposium on computation and the performing arts at the University of Toronto in October 2023.

I'm also working on a project about Brecht and self-driving cars, with my colleague Mark Shepard at the University at Buffalo.  It's called Autonomous.

Here's some more about that book, and some other things I've written:
