In this path-breaking work, Mark Poster highlights the nature ofthe newly emerging forms of social life, in the current era. Theflexibility of language which the computer allows makes the writtenword less certain and less concrete. The result of these changes,Poster argues, is a new communication experience, an interactionbetween humankind and a new kind of reality.
Poster discusses the addictive properties of television andarcade video games, as well as the surveillance possibilities whichthe new communication technologies offer the state. Hiswide-ranging analysis incorporates the new language-based theoriesof mathematics, philosophy and literature in Wiener, Derrida andBarthes, among others.
This work is a major new contribution to the debate surroundingthe future of electronically mediated-experiences.
