Key topics include:the mediation of politicsthe question of objectivityautomata and the metaphor of the machineanalogue and digitaltechnological determinism.Laid out in a clear and engaging format, Philosophy of Media provides an accessible and comprehensive exploration of the origins of the network society. It is essential reading for students of philosophy, media theory, politics, history and communication studies.
