Remediation is an insightful book because of Bolter and Grusin's relentless tracking down of implications in the "double logic of remediation" (2) and the concepts of remediation, immediacy, transparent immediacy, hypermediacy, and mediation.

REMEDIATION. Pandora is one of the most primary examples of how remediation is alive and well in today's digital society.
