Book Description:
Poised between hope and despair for a humanity facing an urgent communication crisis, this work by Vilém Flusser forecasts either the first truly human, infinitely creative society in history or a society of unbearable, oppressive sameness, locked in a pattern it cannot change. Into the Universe of Technical Images outlines the history of communication technology as a process of increasing abstraction.
