'A richly informed, clearly written, pioneering study of literacy and AI, not only advancing the project of critical literacy for a post-digital age but opening up new possibilities for literacy, education and citizenship as well, in the looming Brave New World of algorithmic culture and society. Thoroughly recommended.'
Emeritus Professor Bill Green, Charles Sturt University, Australia
'Building on the solid foundations of critical literacy, this book explores the emergence of AI as a medium of multimodal representation. Addressing this new, complex and hazardous environment, the authors explain technicalities clearly, provide vivid examples, and alert us to potential dangers. More than critical, this book offers a practical roadmap for the transformation of literacy.'
Bill Cope, Professor of Education, University of Illinois, USA
