Thinking through High-Tech Hell (eBook, ePUB)

A Theory of the New Media Dystopia

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book focuses on a selection of "new media dystopias" produced and distributed through Anglo-American steaming platforms in the 2010s. The author studies and theorizes them as instances of an emergent, audio-visual sub-genre of sf which is, both formally and ideologically, an ambivalent reflection of digital capitalism's structures of feeling.
