Exploring Technology and Social Space

by J. Macgregor Wise

This volume offers a critical, philosophical and epistemological framework to understand better our relations to technology and social space. John MacGregor focuses on the burgeoning technological assemblage of communication and information characterized by the Internet and cyberspace; draws on the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari and the actor-network sociology of Latour; and brings together diverse examples from cyborg films, television, museums, cyberspace and debates over a new world information and communication order. In the last chapter, the possibilities and limitations of human agency within the new wired world are described.
