Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. From the telegraph to the touchscreen, how the development of binary switching transformed everyday life and changed the shape of human agencyThe Switch traces the sudden rise of a technology that has transformed everyday life for billions of people: the binary switch. By chronicling the rapid growth of binary switching since the mid-nineteenth century, Jason Puskar contends that there is no human activity as common today as pushing a button or flipping a switchthe deceptively simple act of turning something on or off. More than a technical history, The Switch offers a cultural and political analysis of how reducing so much human action to binary alternatives has profoundly reshaped modern society. Analyzing this history, Puskar charts the rapid shift from analog to digital across a range of deviceskeyboards, cameras, guns, light switches, computers, game controls, even the nuclear buttonto understand how nineteenth-century techniques continue to influence todays pervasive digital technologies. In contexts that include musical performance, finger counting, machine writing, voting methods, and immersive play, Puskar shows how the switch to switching led to radically new forms of action and thought. The innovative analysis in The Switch makes clear that binary inputs have altered human agency by making choice instantaneous, effort minimal, and effects more far-reaching than ever. In the process, it concludes, switching also fosters forms of individualism that, though empowering for many, also preserve a legacy of inequality and even domination. "The Switch traces the rise of a technology that has transformed everyday life for billions of people: the binary switch. Chronicling its rapid growth since the mid-nineteenth century, Jason Puskar moves beyond a technical history to offer a cultural and political analysis of how reducing so much human action to binary alternatives has profoundly reshaped modern society"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
