Więcej o książce
A highly provocative and visionary exploration of our rapidly evolving digital era, this work extends Marshall McLuhan's analysis of technology's influence on culture to the present day. The authors navigate a world redefined by the Internet, coining the term 'extreme present' to describe our current experience. This quick-fire paperback captures the essence of our digital lives through a blend of images, language, and perceptions. They outline five characteristics of the Extreme Present, create a glossary of new terms reflecting our feelings, and feature over 30 contemporary artists' illustrations. The striking graphic design by Wayne Daly mirrors the surreal, juxtaposed nature of digital culture, making it feel like an insightful email to the reader. This paper portrait of Now reveals how the Internet has not only altered our brains but also the planet itself, presenting a fresh history of the world that fits perfectly in your back pocket. Contributions from a diverse array of artists enhance the narrative, showcasing a rich tapestry of contemporary thought and creativity.
