Description

Exploring the complex relationships between humans and machines in today's society, this collection of essays examines the social consequences of automation and digital media.

Contributors Thomas Pringle, Gertrude Koch, and Bernard Stiegler offer distinct perspectives on how machines are transforming our lives, from the animation of life to the pathologies of everyday existence. Through their analysis, they shed light on the ways in which categories of life and technology become intertwined in governmental policies, economic systems, and individual experiences.

With 103 pages of insightful commentary, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the impact of machines on our world and our place within it.
