In this path-breaking work, Mark Poster highlights the nature of
the newly emerging forms of social life, in the current era. The
flexibility of language which the computer allows makes the written
word less certain and less concrete. The result of these changes,
Poster argues, is a new communication experience, an interaction
between humankind and a new kind of reality.
Poster discusses the addictive properties of television and
arcade video games, as well as the surveillance possibilities which
the new communication technologies offer the state. His
wide-ranging analysis incorporates the new language-based theories
of mathematics, philosophy and literature in Wiener, Derrida and
Barthes, among others.
This work is a major new contribution to the debate surrounding
the future of electronically mediated-experiences.
