This Critical Theory and Contemporary Society volume offers an original analysis of the role of the in today's society. It rearticulates critical theory by engaging it with the challenges of the revolution to show how the is changing the ways in which we lead our politics, societies, economies, media, and even private lives. In particular, the work examines how the enlightenment values embedded within the culture and materiality of technology can be used to explain the changes that are occurring across society.Critical Theory and the draws from the critical concepts developed by critical theorists to demonstrate how the needs to be understood within a dialectic of potentially democratizing and totalizing technical power. By relating critical theory to aspects of a code-based world and the political economy that it leads to, th introduces the importance of the code in the contemporary world to researchers in the field of politics, sociology, globalization and media studies.
