The philosophy and impact of the digital revolution from one of the most important thinkers and writers in the field

Trade Review
"It is a great pleasure to read Fischer's analysis, which is both critical and astonishing, in a book at the crossroads of sociology, philosophy, art, and new technologies." L'Omniscient "For this daring thinker, the digital revolution is the beginning of another Middle Age. Fischer, the father of multimedia in Quebec, plumbs the depths of cyber culture with a nuanced formulation of the paradoxical laws that govern this extravagant civilization founded on the infinite resources of an abstract universe." La Presse (Montreal) "Should we be cautious about digital technology and techno-science or optimistic about their extraordinary possibilities? Both, affirms Herve Fischer, who argues that they can direct us toward a new humanism." Multimedium
