Narrating some lesser known episodes from the deep history of
digital machines, Alexander R. Galloway explains the technology
that drives the world today, and the fascinating people who brought
these machines to life. With an eye to both the computable and the
uncomputable, Galloway shows how computation emerges or fails to
emerge, how the digital thrives but also atrophies, how networks
interconnect while also fray and fall apart. By re-building
obsolete technology using today's software, the past comes to light
in new ways, from intricate algebraic patterns woven on a hand
loom, to striking artificial-life simulations, to war games and
back boxes. A description of the past, this book is also an
assessment of all that remains uncomputable as we continue to live
in the aftermath of the long digital age.
