Böcker av Jason Puskar

"The Switch traces the rise of a technology that has transformed everyday life for billions of people: the binary switch. Chronicling its rapid growth since the mid-nineteenth century, Jason Puskar moves beyond a technical history to offer a cultural and political analysis of how reducing so much human action to binary alternatives has profoundly reshaped modern society"--

Underwriting the Accident shows how late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century novels taught Americans to classify a wide range of modern injuries as blameless accidents, which in turn became a powerful rationale for new and more interdependent modes of social organization.
