Description
Book Synopsis
This book covers significant new ground, examining the impact and imprint of new leading technology on a range of popular expressions. This technology includes the internet, the computer, the cell phone, television, and radio, among others. Best argues that Caribbean culture has gone wireless, virtual, and simulated in the age of the machines.Review Quotes
"The global impact of information technology is a fact, but what does it mean? Is it a story of coming together, or mere colonization; a multi-cultural success, or a cultural nightmare? This book investigates cyberculture from the view point of Caribbean culture, a daring change in perspective. Instead of assigning blame it opens up potentialities - let the game of mutual influence begin." - Wolfgang Schirmacher, Program Director of Media & Communications, The European Graduate School (EGS)
"Innovative and thorough, this study lays the foundation for a new field of scholarship." - Gregory Ulmer, Professor of English, University of Florida
