Description

Book Synopsis

Drawing on his experience as an aircraft engineer, technology designer and UK government adviser, Michael Pryce explores how digital-age systems have curtailed one of humanity's oldest ambitions -- flight. With rigor and insight, The Levitation Game examines how our lives are increasingly anchored by technology even as we yearn to rise. Through a personal and technical lens, Pryce challenges us to imagine how we might reclaim real freedom in an age dominated by code and control.
