Klappentext zu „The Digital Cast of Being “
We live today surrounded by countless digital gadgets and navigate through cyberspace as if it were the most natural thing in the world. This digital cast of being, however, comes from a long history of philosophical and mathematical thinking in which the Western will to productive power over movement has attained its consummation.

With an appendix reinterpreting quantum mechanical indeterminacy phenomenologically.
