| [Nettime-bold] _Living With Cyberspace: Technology & Society in the 21st Centu ry_. |
Hi all A blatant bit of pre-publication marketing: The text below is almost certainly the final back cover blurb for a book Joanne Roberts and I have just finished editing entitled: _Living With Cyberspace: Technology & Society in the 21st Century_. The book is aimed at 2/3rd year undergraduates in the USA, UK and Australia mainly. The rest of the blurb is, I hope, self-explanatory. I have placed the ISBN's and UK price below. The book is due out in August this year -- it is already in the production process so it may be published earlier. Joanne and I would be grateful if folks would spread the word a little about the book across other e-lists etc. Additionally, we are keen to hear from anyone connected with relevant editorial boards/journals etc.. We would like to get the book reviewed here and there. If anyone wants to send Joanne or myself their email/or the address of the journal, we will pass it on to our senior editor at Continuum and try to get a review copy sent to you. Best wishes John & Joanne ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- LIVING WITH CYBERSPACE: TECHNOLOGY & SOCIETY IN THE 21ST CENTURY Edited by John Armitage & Joanne Roberts Cyberspace and cybertechnology have impacted on every aspect of our lives. Western society, culture, politics and economics are now all intricately bound with cyberspace. Living With Cyberspace brings together the leading cyber-theorists of North America, Britain and Australia to map the present and the future of cyberspace. Presenting a guidebook to our new world, both the theory and the practice, Living With Cyberspace covers subjects as diverse as androids, biotech, electronic commerce, the acceleration of everyday life, access to information, the alliance between the military and the entertainment industries, feminism, democratic practice and human consciousness itself. Together, the essays - divided into separately introduced sections on society, culture, politics and economics - present a systematic and state-of-the-art overview of technology and society in the 21st Century.
