Summary
An investigation of women's natural relationship with modern technology which, Plant argues, will trigger a new sexual revolution. The author challenges the belief that man was ever in control of either the planet or machines and that the old distinctions between man, woman, nature and technology need to be radically reassessed.

Zeros and Ones by Sadie Plant
Arguing that the computer is rewriting the old conceptions of man and his world, this work suggests that the telecoms revolution is also a sexual revolution which undermines the fundamental assumptions crucial to patriarchal culture. Historical, contemporary and future developments in telecommunications and in IT are interwoven with the past, present and future of feminism, women and sexual difference, and parallels and affinities between machines and women are uncovered as a result. Challenging the belief that man was ever in control of either his own agency, the planet, or his machines, this book argues it is seriously undermined by the new scientific paradigms emergent from theories of chaos, complexity and connectionism, all of which suggest that the old distinctions between man, women, nature and technology need to be radically reassessed.| SKU | Unavailable |
