It interrogates the ways in which society, politics, literature and art are imbricated with changing communications technologies, from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. Contributors consider control, imperialism and capital, as well as utopianism and hope, grappling with the ways in which human connections (and their messages) continue to be shaped by communications infrastructures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eANNE CHAPMAN AND NATALIE HUME\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 To Be Connected: Perspectives on Autonomy and Risk from the Electric Age 7\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMANU LUKSCH AND MUKUL PATEL\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 Cyborg Imperium, \u003ci\u003ec\u003c\/i\u003e. 1900 48\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDUNCAN BELL\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 Universal Visual Languages in the Age of Telegraphy 71\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGRACE BROCKINGTON\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 Plotting Passengers at a Metropolitan Station: Paddington in the Mid-Nineteenth Century 96\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNICOLA K IRKBY\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 ‘Some Sentient Creature’.
