About this book
Reviews
“Adam Fish's ambitious book is at once empirically and theoretically incisive; it charts the rise and fall of 'technoliberalism' as it confronts generation after generation of hopeful new media and their relentless incorporation within capital. It is an essential and creative clarification of the tangle of contemporary technologies, political theories of freedom and equality, and the desires involved in making and consuming media.” (Christopher Kelty, University of California, Los Angeles, USA)
