Author: Jussi Parikka

8,00 €

Digital media have a material life: they require raw materials and leave waste after use. Jussi Parikka examines their relationship with geological processes, challenging the idea of an immaterial technological culture.

The book will appeal to readers of media studies, philosophy, and environmental topics. It connects extraction, economics, and social conditions with new materialism and artistic practice, placing technology within a longer material horizon.
