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. That is thepremise of Jussi Parikka's pioneering and provocative book, A Geology ofMedia , which argues that to adequately understand contemporary mediaculture we must set out from material realities that precede mediathemselves-Earth's history, geological formations, minerals, and energy.
