Offers a corrective to certain myopias of Western media theory
Presents a deep, historical engagement with issues and debates surrounding Chinese cyberculture
Brings together contemporary media theory with modern Chinese philosophical thought
In the 21st century city, wireless waves constitute an imperceptible, immersive, all-encompassing environment. Nowhere is this more so than in China, where a hyperdense network of mobile media has restructured daily life.
