Reviews

The object of this remarkable, groundbreaking book is as elegant as it is profound to provide us with a radically objective account of the digital objects that populate our world, both on- and offline. On the Existence of Digital Objects is a truly innovative and philosophically grounded object oriented ontology that is designed for and can scale to the increasingly complex orders of magnitude confronted in the twenty-first century. David J. Gunkel, author of The Machine Question
