Digitized Imagination

The work explores the complex and profound implications of digital technology for a stunning variety of spaces ranging from science and cinema to citizenship and bazaars. It maps the multiple ways in which the 'new' media rewrites the 'old' and the dilemmas and issues that they pitch - questioning in turn recieved notions of knowledge legality ethics privacy identity and community. The book argues that the old and the new media are neither radically different nor the same: while the mutability of a narrative whether on the printed page or on a digitally recorded disk remains there are intrinsic differences between print and digital print.
