Description

A blend of text and imagery that explores how electronic media and technology forge an interconnected “global village,” sparking deep social transformation, identity tensions, and conflict as traditional linear structures unravel.

Context

The book argues that new technologies extend human senses, and that the accelerating pace of innovation ushers in a “transitional era of profound pain and tragic identity quest,” anticipating a world without fixed centers or clear boundaries.
