What are the most radical transformations on the horizon of our world? And how are they irreversibly altering our experience of time, movement, language, mind, body, virtuality, power, and nature?
Cloaked in relative obscurity, future eras compel the invention of new techniques of visionary speculation. Future's Theory provides many, shining a light on the infinity of possible futurities from multiple astonishing perspectives. Exploring how we imagine new ages in the 21st century, the book examines how alternate future dimensions will affect everything from our culture to our politics, our bodies to our minds. Filled with original work from over 20 prominent thinkers in the domains of literature, philosophy, visual art, architecture, design, media studies, ecology, anthropology, it features immersive entries on phenomena including artificial intelligence, virtual reality, mass migration, speed, climate, geo-engineering, and automation. Contemplating the variables that will expand and distort these fields, Future's Theory opens up a new atmosphere for thought itself in the epochs to come.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Bloomsbury AcademicISBN-13:9781350421035ISBN-10:1350421030UPC:9781350421035Book Category:Philosophy, Social ScienceBook Subcategory:Movements, Media Studies, Future StudiesBook Topic:HumanismSize:9.14 x 6.15 x 1.19 inchesWeight:0.545Product ID:SCTGTEVJ9B
