Thanks for this review! I've started reading the book as well. Fun examples, very light. As another person who writes about the history of automated writing, I agree that the "there's no difference between then and now" isn't quite right. I admire Tenen's work a lot though and look forward to reading his more scholarly treatment of the subject in Author Function (Chicago, forthcoming).

Ah, I didn't know about the new book--I look forward to picking it up when it comes out!
Nicely done.
