Bibliography
The following selected bibliography represents some of the most current work on the teaching of writing and literacy with computers. Most of the recent and exciting theory and pedagogy of CMC has grown out of Composition Studies, as represented here, but the work has potential interdisciplinary applications.

Borgman, Albert. Holding on to Reality. Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 1999.
Borgman's introduction titled "Information vs. Reality" sets the scene of the cyber world in a provocative way. Part one of his book poses an interesting thesis concerning the human creation and adaptation of the sign, which he traces back to the necessity of understanding of the sign to survival in nature.

Morse, Margaret. "Virtually Female: Body and Code." Processed Lives: Gender and Technology in Everyday Life. Eds. Jennifer Terry, and Melodie Calvert. New York: Routledge, 1997.
Morse looks at cyber-space as a rather hostile environment for the
female gender. She argues that constructs of power in gender relationships
in the physical world are often duplicated in cyber-space. She does
seem to infer that we can possibly overcome such constructs in the future.
The anthology as a whole offers a comprehensive look at the roles
of gender and how they are played out in the virtual world through a
discussion of "digital words," "the body" and "the
home."
