On the social consequences of machines Automation, animation, and
ecosystems are terms of central media-philosophical concern in
today's society of humans and machines. This volume describes the
social consequences of machines as a mediating concept for the
animation of life and automation of technology. Bernard Stiegler's
automatic society illustrates how digital media networks establish
a new proletariat of knowledge workers. Gertrud Koch offers the
animation of the technical to account for the pathological
relations that arise between people and their devices. And Thomas
Pringle synthesizes how automation and animation explain the
history of intellectual exchanges that led to the hybrid concept of
the ecosystem, a term that blends computer and natural science. All
three contributions analyse how categories of life and technology
become mixed in governmental policies, economic exploitation and
pathologies of everyday life thereby both curiously and critically
advancing the term that underlies those new developments:
'machine.'
