Recenzje

"A Sleepwalker's Guide to Social Media is a book for the age of sleep disorders and political disorders; it is a book about the reshuffling of affects and the data-driven cognition. Sampson maps brilliantly the production of the dark refrains of contemporary culture from UX design to the broader context of experience capitalism and social media. A dark book, a joyous read."Jussi Parikka, University of Southampton (UK) and FAMU (Prague)"This is an essential book of dystopian media theory and an admonition of the high stakes of connectivity now and in the future."Tero Karppi, University of Toronto"A Sleepwalker?s Guide to Social Media is exactly what we need in these post-truth times. Tony Sampson brilliantly and succinctly takes us beyond the impasse between hyperreality and the illusory certainties of objective truth, introducing us to the collective nonconscious and its political, social and cultural implications. Read it now!"Patricia Clough, CUNY
