"Virtual Futures" explores the ideas that the future lies in its
ability to articulate the consequences of an increasingly synthetic
and virtual world. New technologies like cyberspace, the internet,
and Chaos theory are often discussed in the context of technology
and its potential to liberate or in terms of technophobia. This
collection examines both these ideas while also charting a new and
controversial route through contemporary discourses on technology;
a path that discusses the material evolution and the erotic
relation between humans and machines. Including essays by Sadie
Plant, Stelarc and Manuel de Landa, the collection heralds the
death of humanism and the rise of posthuman pragmatism. This
collection provides analyses by both established theorists and the
most innovative new voices working in conjunction between the arts
and contemporary technology.
