Computers are blamed for generating toxic forms of culture and ways of life. Once part of future imaginaries that were optimistic or even utopian, today there is a sense that things have turned out very differently. Anti-computing is widespread. This book seeks to understand its cultural and material logics, its forms, and its operations. Anti-Computing critically investigates forgotten histories of dissent - moments when the imposition of computational technologies, logics, techniques, imaginaries, utopias have been questioned, disputed, or refused. It asks why dissent is forgotten and how - under what circumstances - it revives. Constituting an engagement with media archaeology/medium theory and working through a series of case studies, this book is compelling reading for scholars in digital media, literary, cultural history, digital humanities and associated fields at all levels. 606 $aComputers and civilization 606 $aComputers$xSocial aspects 606 $aLiterature$2mup 606 $aInformation Technology Industries$2bicssc 606 $aCOMPUTERS$xInformation Technology$2bisacsh 615 0$aComputers and civilization. 615 0$aComputers$xSocial aspects. 615 7$aLiterature 615 7$aInformation Technology Industries 615 7$aCOMPUTERS$xInformation Technology 676 $a303.4834 700 $aBassett$b Caroline$01207198 801 0$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910548277903321 996 $aAnti-computing$92901097 997 $aUNINA
