Description
Foreverism: A Groundbreaking Theory of Revitalization
Grafton Tanner's new book explores the concept of foreverizing - the process of reviving and preserving things that have degraded or disappeared. This anti-nostalgic discourse promises growth without change and life without loss, but also raises questions about its implications on our society.
From the ecological impact of data storage to the rise of reboot culture, Tanner examines the consequences of a world averse to nostalgia and reveals new strategies for eliminating it. A thought-provoking analysis of our relationship with time, memory, and technology.
