SUMMARY:"The Hivemind Swarmed" book talk at A Room of One's Own
DESCRIPTION:Tone Madison is excited to welcome oral historian and journalist David Wolinsky to Madison on Thursday\, March 6\, for a discussion about his 2024 book The Hivemind Swarmed: Conversations On Gamergate\, The Aftermath\, And The Quest For A Safer Internet. The event\, at A Room of One’s Own Bookstore\, 2717 Atwood Ave.\, starts at 6 p.m. and is free and open to the public. \n\n\n\nAt the event\, Tone Madison publisher Scott Gordon (that’s me!) will interview Wolinsky about this long-in-the-works oral history book\, and the work leading up to it. The Hivemind Swarmed draws on hundreds of interviews to bring together a multitude of perspectives about Gamergate\, an online harassment campaign\, which started in 2014\, and targeted women and minorities in the video gaming world. But it goes far beyond that episode\, exploring the depth of its impact and  implications for the wider world of culture and politics in the ensuing decade. (As the collapse of social media plays out in 2025\, part of the mourning should involve passing the mic to gamers\, who sounded the alarm over a decade ago.) Renowned documentary filmmaker Ken Burns blurbed the book\, writing: “Out of the transient and ephemeral effluvia of the internet comes something ivied\, revelatory\, permanent. Bravo.” \n\n\n\nI’ve known Wolinsky since 2008\, when we both worked at The A.V. Club\, and he’s also contributed to Tone Madison\, including a 2017 report about the local game-development world. Wolinsky\, who is based in the Chicago area\, has focused for more than a decade on independently holding up a much-needed mirror to the video game industry as a whole. His Don’t Die oral history series has gathered long-form interviews he conducted to surface conversations across a kaleidoscope of fields\, contrasting a wide array of game developers and player perspectives with those of journalists and other cultural figures. In 2016\, he self-published a series of in-depth reports on labor practices in the games world. (Full disclosure: I edited that series.) This was ahead of the curve: at the time\, not a lot of publications were interested in this kind of reporting. Today\, unions are a much more prominent force in video games. And it’s become more common to find great journalism about labor in games\, both in legacy media outlets and small upstart publications like the mighty Aftermath. One of the pivotal developments happened right in our backyard\, when workers at Middleton-based Raven Software successfully organized a union in 2022. \n\n\n\nSo\, we’ll have plenty to talk about. Even if you don’t pay much attention to video games\, chances are you’ll find the conversation about online subcultures and their sometimes frightful\, outsized power interesting. (Especially if you’ve been concerned about questions like\, “What is the internet doing to us?”) We hope you can join us. For now\, if you’re curious to learn more\, you can also listen to Sara Gabler’s October 2024 interview with Wolinsky for WORT-FM’s A Public Affair. —Scott Gordon \n\n \nWORT 89.9FM Madison · Searching for Accountability in the Gaming Industry

SUMMARY:Madison Print & Resist Zinefest 2025
DESCRIPTION:We’ve been experimenting with print media here at Tone Madison\, so we’re thrilled to be a part of this year’s Madison Print & Resist Zinefest. The annual celebration of short-form print media features dozens of vendors from across the Midwest showcasing zines\, comics\, art prints\, and beyond. At Tone Madison‘s table\, we will be debuting a brand-new print issue that builds on one of our ongoing in-depth reporting projects. We’re not spilling all the details yet\, but you can expect a 12-page edition in half-letter zine format. It boasts a short guest essay we’re very excited about\, plus all-new design and illustrations from Tone Madison contributors Kay Reynolds and Andrew Mulhearn. \nWe will also have some free copies left of our December 2024 print edition\, which commemorates Tone Madison‘s 10th anniversary\, plus assorted merch. Stop by and talk with Tone Madison‘s editors throughout the day. And don’t be shy about sharing your feedback—it just might help us figure out where our adventures in print take us next. —Scott Gordon
