The ever-evolving ways that we interact with each other, our world, and ourselves through technology is a topic as worn as the devices we clutch and carry every day. How did we get here? Drawing from the disciplines of media ecology and media archaeology, as well as bringing fresh perspectives from subcultures of music and skateboarding, The Medium Picture illuminates aspects of technological mediation that have been overlooked along the way. Roy Christopher's high-tempo, lucid prose shows us how immersion in unmoored technologies of connectivity places us in a world of pure media and redefines who we are, how we are, and what we will be.
