InformationFantasiesoffers a revisionist account of the emergence of the "information society,"arguing that it was developed out of a set of techno-cultural imaginations andpractices that arrived alongside postsocialism. Ranging over forgotten sciencefiction, unjustly neglected films, corporeal practices such as qigong,scientific journals, advertising, and cybernetic theories, it constructs analternate genealogy of digital and information imaginaries.
