Christine Finn, author of _Artifacts: An Archaeologist's Year in Silicon
Valley_ (available for sale on Amazon, more information at
http://www.artifactsthebook.com/) is starting on a new book that will
cover how people use technology in the United States. She would like to
profile/interview a collector in every state of the union, including
Alaska and Hawaii.
Christine says:
"I am about to start on a follow up to 'Artifacts: an archaeologists's
year in Silicon Valley'. It will also be published by MIT Press, and take
a broader look at technology in America. Central to research will be
travelling to as many parts of the US as I can - Hawaii and Alaska
included - over the next year. However, I do have very limited resources
and would be really grateful if any collectors or classic computer
enthusiasts could offer me an overnight stay and/or a place for me to get
online. More than that, it would give me the chance to meet more of you,
and find out about how you feel about technology in its various forms. I
can offer a copy of the book and an Artifacts reading/discussion in your
locale, if you'd like to arrange it.
"If you can help, do please get in touch with me
christine.finn_at_arch.ox.ac.uk".
If you would like to be considered, please respond directly to Christine
at <christine.finn_at_arch.ox.ac.uk>.
