Klappentext Jussi Parikka is professor in technological culture and aesthetics at Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton. He is the author of Insect Media (Minnesota, 2010), Digital Contagions, and What Is Media Archaeology? Zusammenfassung Media history is millions, even billions, of years old.
