Future of selfhood & resistance in cyber-age? Deleuze, Foucauut,
Heidegger, Benjamin, Adorno, Guattari, Baudrillard, Virilio, Enzensberger,
Feenberg, Poster . . . are all marshalled to show how the new technology
menaces selfhood and resistance, or enables same in a few cases. Williams
lists the potential for cyber-resistance while going through all this, then
ends with caveats. But in the end, there's very little substance to all of
this name-dropping. Williams seems to live in virtual reality himself.
