Mark Dery is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Journalism at New York University, where he directs the undergraduate concentration in media criticism. Professor Dery is a prominent commentator on new media, unpopular culture, and the digital age. He edited Flame Wars: The Discourse of Cyberculture (Duke University Press, 1995), a seminal anthology of cybercrit that included Dery's essay "Black to the Future," in which Dery coined the term "afro-futurism," now a thriving field within the academy. He is the author of the critically acclaimed Escape Velocity: Cyberculture at the End of the Century (Grove Press, 1996), and of an essay on guerrilla media, "Culture Jamming: Hacking, Slashing, and Sniping in the Empire of the Signs" (Open Magazine Pamphlet Series, 1993), widely credited with spreading the "culture jamming" meme. Professor Dery has written a column on fringe literature, "Invisible Lit," for Bookforum and has done cultural commentaries for Radio Nation. His most recent book is the essay collection, The Pyrotechnic Insanitarium: American Culture on the Brink.
