Opis

Digital technology is a 'natural technology'-a technology so intuitive as to conceal how and how far it transforms the world.

Recenzje

'In compelling, elegant prose, Antón Barba-Kay lucidly diagnoses the full extent of our current technocultural crisis. His analysis is unflinching, and does not settle for any facile reassurances. But do not call his approach nostalgic, or, even worse, 'Luddit'. For Barba-Kay is not seeking to go back to anything, but rather is helping to advance the very urgent project of finding a way forward that preserves the irreducibly human within a complex and unprecedented technological landscape. This book is timely and necessary indeed.' Justin E. H. Smith, professor of history and philosophy of science at the University of Paris, author of The Internet Is Not What You Think It Is
