Recenzii

"This is a powerful, compelling, and historically informed analysis of popular representations of electronic presence. Sconce has a rare ability to write about complex cultural phenomena in a poetic fashion, offering the reader a fascinating counterpart to existing scholarship." - Michael Curtin, author of Redeeming the Wasteland: Television Documentary and Cold War Politics "Sconce offers an original and productive examination of the diverse social responses to 150 years of electronic communication. The result is an important and evocative book, notable for both its insights and its engaging style." - William Boddy, author of Fifties Television: The Industry and Its Critics

Textul de pe ultima copertă

"Death, desire and distance are Jeffrey Sconce's companions in this truly spooky journey through the 'troubling afterlife of modernity.' His brilliant and beautifully written history of the uncanny powers ascribed to the electronic media is a wonderful catalogue of popular fantasies. But more profoundly it is a symptomatology of media theory too. In fact and fiction alike we are caught up in wild imaginings that seek transcendance in transmission, from the ether to the Internet. Where redemption is sought from the 'liveness' of technology, Sconce advises caution. Or, as one of the quirky spirits he unearths implores via radio, 'bring a halibut!' "--John Hartley, Queensland University of Technology
