Also the messages that \"pour out of various devices\" (as in Muriel Rukeyser's poem): news stories, speeches, alerts, warning labels, traffic and weather reports, TV and radio commercials, those targeted ads on Google and Facebook. Communications overload - but with a touch of magic to it. Again, we are both consumers and producers of messages: we post, we blog, we update, we upload. But I was also thinking about the broader connotations of the word. After all, messages can be exchanged in the course of a simple conversation.\"","brand":"Pond Road Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47019215388912,"sku":"9780971974128","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780971974128_p0.jpg?v=1763878052","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780971974128","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
