From our bank accounts to supermarket checkouts to the movies we watch, strings
of ones and zeroes suffuse our world. Digital technology has defined modern
society in numerous ways, and the vibrant digital culture that has now resulted
is the subject of Charlie Gere's engaging volume.
In this revised and expanded second edition, taking account of new developments
such as Facebook and the iPhone, Charlie Gere charts in detail the history of
digital culture, as marked by responses to digital technology in art, music,
design, film, literature and other areas. After tracing the historical
development of digital culture, Gere argues that it is actually neither
radically new nor technologically driven: digital culture has its roots in the
eighteenth century and the digital mediascape we swim in today was originally
inspired by informational needs arising from industrial capitalism, contemporary
warfare and counter-cultural experimentation, among other social changes.
A timely and cutting-edge investigation of our contemporary social
infrastructures, Digital Culture is essential reading for all those concerned
about the ever-changing future of our Digital Age.
"This is an excellent book. It gives an almost complete overview of the main
trends and view of what is generally called digital culture through the whole
post-war period, as well as a thorough exposition of the history of the computer
and its predecessors and the origins of the modern division of
labor."—Journal of Visual Culture
