We live in a moment of high anxiety around digital transformation.
Computers are blamed for generating toxic forms of culture and ways
of life. Once part of future imaginaries that were optimistic or
even utopian, today there is a sense that things have turned out
very differently. Anti-computing is widespread. This book seeks to
understand its cultural and material logics, its forms, and its
operations. Anti-Computing critically investigates forgotten
histories of dissent - moments when the imposition of computational
technologies, logics, techniques, imaginaries, utopias have been
questioned, disputed, or refused. It asks why dissent is forgotten
and how - under what circumstances - it revives. Constituting an
engagement with media archaeology/medium theory and working through
a series of case studies, this book is compelling reading for
scholars in digital media, literary, cultural history, digital
humanities and associated fields at all levels. -- .
