summary	Here's a summary of Edwin Wenink’s Archive Fever: Archive Fever argues that the digital archive isn’t simply a new form of physical storage, but a fundamentally different way of relating to the past. Wenink contends that digital archiving’s core logic – relentless accumulation, mirroring, and replication – generates a specific kind of anxiety and instability. This “Archive Fever” stems from the impossibility of truly controlling or containing the vast, mutable data streams of the digital age. The book examines how this logic shapes our understanding of history, memory, and identity. It delves into the concepts of “reproduction” and “simulation” within digital archives, highlighting how seemingly stable records are constantly destabilized by their own processes of duplication and alteration. Wenink explores the ethical and epistemological implications of this constantly shifting landscape, particularly concerning issues of provenance, authenticity, and the potential for manipulation. Ultimately, Archive Fever presents a critical perspective on the digital archive as a site of profound uncertainty and a powerful force shaping our engagement with the past. It suggests that we need to move beyond simply treating digital archives as neutral repositories and instead grapple with their inherent instability and the anxieties they provoke.
