Gaming: Essays on Algorithmic Culture Volume 18
ISBN: 9780816648511 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Video games have been a central feature of the cultural landscape for over twenty years and now rival older media like movies, television, and music in popularity and cultural influence. Yet there have been relatively few attempts to understand the video game as an independent medium. Most such efforts focus on the earliest generation of text-based adventures (Zork, for example) and have little to say about such visually and conceptually sophisticated games as Final Fantasy X, Shenmue, Grand Theft Auto, Halo, and The Sims, in which players inhabit elaborately detailed...

The Interface Effect
ISBN: 9780745662527 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Interfaces are back, or perhaps they never left. The familiar Socratic conceit from the Phaedrus, of communication as the process of writing directly on the soul of the other, has returned to center stage in today's discussions of culture and media. Indeed Western thought has long construed media as a grand choice between two kinds of interfaces. Following the optimistic path, media seamlessly interface self and other in a transparent and immediate connection. But, following the pessimistic path, media are the obstacles to direct communion, disintegrating self and other into... Interfaces are back, or perhaps they never left.

The Exploit: A Theory of Networks Volume 21
ISBN: 9780816650446 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "The Exploit is that rare thing: a book with a clear grasp of how networks operate that also understands the political implications of this emerging form of power. It cuts through the nonsense about how 'free' and 'democratic' networks supposedly are, and it offers a rich analysis of how network protocols create a new kind of control. Essential reading for all theorists, artists, activists, techheads, and hackers of the Net." --McKenzie Wark, author of A Hacker Manifesto
The network has become the core organizational structure for postmodern politics, culture, and... "The Exploit is that rare thing: a book with a clear grasp of how networks operate that also understands the political implications of this eme... |

ISBN: 9780226925226 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Always connect that is the imperative of today s media. But what about those moments when media cease to function properly, when messages go beyond the sender and receiver to become excluded from the world of communication itself those messages that state: There will be no more messages ? In this book, Alexander R. Galloway, Eugene Thacker, and McKenzie Wark turn our usual understanding of media and mediation on its head by arguing that these moments reveal the ways the impossibility of communication is integral to communication itself instances they call excommunication. In three linked...

Protocol: How Control Exists after Decentralization
ISBN: 9780262572330 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Is the Internet a vast arena of unrestricted communication and freely exchanged information or a regulated, highly structured virtual bureaucracy? In Protocol, Alexander Galloway argues that the founding principle of the Net is control, not freedom, and that the controlling power lies in the technical protocols that make network connections (and disconnections) possible. He does this by treating the computer as a textual medium that is based on a technological language, code. Code, he argues, can be subject to the same kind of cultural and literary analysis as any natural language;...

Digital and Its Discontents
ISBN: 9781517916312 / Angielski / Twarda / 2024 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A groundbreaking critique of the digital world that analyzes its universal technological foundations Whence that nagging sense that something in the digital is amiss—that, as wonderful as our devices are, time spent on smartphones and computers leaves us sour, enervated, alienated? The Digital and Its Discontents uniquely explains that worry and points us toward a more satisfying relationship between our digital lives and our nondigital selves, one that requires a radical change in the way we incorporate technology into our lives.
