Dr. Laurence Scott, a longstanding member of Arcadia's core faculty in London, has received the prestigious Royal Society of Literature Jerwood Award for 2014. Scott was awarded First Prize for his forthcoming non-fiction book, The Four Dimensional Human.
The Jerwood Foundation issued a press release in which the highly experienced judges stated: 'Laurence Scott's meditation on the way digital media have changed not only our lives but our consciousness is full of fresh ideas and written with great panache. Drawing on a wide range of references – from Henry James to Eminem, from 19th-century futurist fiction to the fable of Beauty and the Beast – Scott illuminates our bewildering new world.'
