Zusatztext Heim's blend of Western logic, Eastern Mysticism and California grass may amount to a minor classic for PC-users--Zen and the art of Macintosh maintenance. These essays are full of good vibes. Informationen zum Autor Michael Heim is a freelance philosophy teacher living in Redondo, California. Klappentext As we begin to move in and out of a computer-generated world, Michael Heim asks, how will the way we perceive our world change? With a warm-hearted, cool-headed meditation on computer technology, Heim opens a window on a fascinating cosmos that promises--or threatens--to become everyday life in the 21st century. Zusammenfassung As we begin to move in and out of a computer-generated world (in the form of virtual reality and computer communications networks), Michael Heim asks, how will the way we perceive our world change? Ranging from Heidegger to Word Processing, Heim writes a lively analysis of the way we and our world are changing in the light and shadow of technology.
