Reviews

Félix Guattari once pointed out the promise of a post-media era on the basis of his experiences from the 1970s through to his death in 1992, involving pirate radio, emergent forms of interconnectivity like Minitel and computer-assisted design, hypertext, and the fledgling world wide web. This volume contributes substantially to the renewal of this legacy.
*Gary Genosko, Professor of Communication and Digital Media, Ontario Tech University, Canada*

This volume brings together an invigorating series of essays by international scholars on the legacy of Guattari’s concept of post-media. In a digital dystopia with far greater reach than last century’s mass media, this stimulating book raises the urgent question – what happened to the schizo-revolutionary promise of communications technologies?
*Jill Marsden, Professor of Literature and Philosophy, University of Bolton, UK*

This stunning line-up of scholars in media and Deleuze-Guattari studies propose significant creative perspectives on sociocultural and schizocultural post-media analysis. By offering readings in and of the future through glimpses of the present, they think beyond current control societies to envisage new subjectivities and tools for diverse modes of action and resistance in societies to come.
*Charles J. Stivale, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of French, Wayne State University, USA*

Concepts and vocabulary have to be invented to keep pace with the catastrophic and rapid changes in technology. Drawing upon diverse and global examples of technologies, this book offers a powerful and urgently needed analysis of the way technology, particularly in media, can be understood through the framework of schizoanalysis.
