James O’Sullivan’s Handbook deserves to be read widely for its very approach to curation and conversation around a subject. Its relevance lies beyond digital humanities. If every volume were to conceptualize its subject to include critical reflections, only articulating the backlash it has received, it would be a healthy sign of knowledge production in every domain. Perhaps, that is the greatest takeaway from the book: [digital humanities] may have its naysayers but [digital humanities] itself does not naysay, as it were, even to its naysayers.
