How might they change people and societies? Will the future differ significantly from the past? \u003ci\u003eWireless Futures \u003c\/i\u003eargues that meaningful answers to these century-old questions depend equally on markets, technical limits, and sociotechnical imaginaries of media change. Before wireless came to mean 'Wi-Fi,' before 'the wireless' meant 'radio,' even before the first trials in radiotelegraphy, it was a central object of financial and theoretical speculation. \u003ci\u003eWireless Futures\u003c\/i\u003e unpacks the speculative media question for the case of German modernity. Interrogating the materiality, temporality, and contingency of wireless, this critical project contributes to media philosophy, modernism \u0026amp; modernity studies, and German literary \u0026amp; cultural studies. \u003ci\u003eWireless Futures\u003c\/i\u003e models an approach to speculative media based on testing out the limits of media knowledge and questioning the limits of limit-thinking. It shows how the present continuously remakes connections between the past.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47934427889900,"sku":"9781399553599","price":630.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781399553599-wireless-futures.jpg?v=1783918809","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/wireless-futures-by-dr-erik-born-9781399553599","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
