This combination is what makes it a very worthwhile and refreshing read. Angus Mol, Leiden University Centre for Digital Humanities Many readers of this book...will find in this book inspiration and encouragement to pursue those ideas they previously discarded as wacky, frivolous or not academic ; they are allowed to play, fail and be enchanted. There is huge value in this message. Tom Brughmans, University of Barcelona I urge you not to dismiss this book as a niche or specialist treatise. While Graham may at times use a technical term or make a reference that is missed by the nondigital archaeologist, the overall message comes through clearly. Graham presents a strong case that active, playful, and enchanting approaches are good for archaeology. And while I assume that he would not expect everyone to be enchanted by the same methods or tools, his general approach to engagement with the past is one that can be applied to all aspects of archaeology. * American Journal of Archaeology The aim and personable, essayistic, almost diary-style kind of writing is simultaneously avant-garde (for academic works) and fitting for our (post-)digital times and the digital field it covers.
