While applying a wonderfully personal but somewhat diaristic writing style Kittler looks at technological history in its social context - he links emerging new media to psychoanalysis, media theory, literature, pop music and politics. I really appreciate his writing style as it is less academically convoluted though the compulsory Goethe references are present throughout.
In the three main chapters- Gramophone, Film, and Typewriter he cross-references Kafka, Rilke, Heidegger, Jünger, Edison, Bell, Turing, Foucault, Lacan, Nietzsche and McLuhan.
Like Geert Lovink I was wondering about Kittler's uncritical Ernst Jünger references.
What did you take from the book?
