: The Culture and Politics of Information
by James Brook and Iain A. Boal

'Resisting the Virtual Life' investigates the connections between information technologies and the increasingly abstract, virtual life that all of us - technophile and Luddite - are now compelled to lead. Scholars, writers, and activists gauge the impact of the new video, computer, and networked communications on our ways of life in a restructured world. Exposing relations of power and dependence, they offer strategies of resistance to the global rewiring of the body and psyche, work and community, literature and art.
