Sinossi
Part cultural critique, part call to the ramparts, War of the Worlds is a funny, but eerily disturbing, humanist's look at the culture of cyberspace. Chronicling this revolution in the making and some of the key players in the field, Mark Slouka warns us that more is going on than mere on-line communication. We stand now on the threshold of turning life itself into computer code, of transforming the experience of living in the physical world - every sensation, every detail - into a product for our consumption.
Whether you're a devoted citizen of cyberspace or the opposite, a PONA (person of no account), you owe it to yourself to join Slouka as he reveals some of the uglier side effects of technological "progress" and offers a compelling argument for reaffirming our connection to the unwired world.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 1st printing. 185pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Fine condition. "A technological revolution is unfolding that promises, in the words of its creators, to redefine what it means to be human. Face-to-face communication ("F2F" to those in the know) is quickly becoming obsolete; already we turn to computers for information, entertainment, companionship--even love. [] This is the brave new vision of the digital avant-garde, computer crusaders leading a high-tech assault on what was once known as reality. Sophisticated, well-funded, unabashedly messianic, they have the power, the technological know-how, and the marketplace savvy to make good on many of their wildest prophecies. [] Part cultural critique, part call to the ramparts, WAR OF THE WORLDS is a funny, but eerily disturbing, humanist's look at the culture of cyberspace. Chronicling this revolution in the making and some of the key players in the field, Mark Slouch warns us that more is going on than mere on-line communication. We stand now on the threshold of turning life itself into computer code, of transforming the experience of living in the physical world--every sensation, every detail--into a product for our consumption." [jacket copy] "Among those who reject the principle of technology uber alles, Mark Slouka is now a clear leader. His WAR OF THE WORLDS is among the most well-informed, well-written critiques of a culture hell-bent on locating its humanity in machines."--Neil Postman. "A shrewd, snazzy polemic that crackles with educated insights on every page."--Philadelphia Inquirer. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a NF intact & bright jacket. Codice articolo RUB3395
