| Shrnutí: | The acceleration in science, technology, communication, and production that began in the second half of the twentieth century-- developments which make up the concept of the "digital"--Has brought us to what might be the most contradictory moment in human history.

In The Digital Condition, Rob Wilkie advances a groundbreaking analysis of digital culture which argues that the digital geist--which has its genealogy in such concepts as the "body without organs," "spectrality," and "differance"--has obscured the implications of class difference with the phantom of a digital divide |
