He is just as much at home discussing creation myths and classical literature as he is with more contemporary phenomena such as social media, sampling and video art. - Graham Meikle, University of Westminster, UK The reader will learn from every page of this erudite, yet accessible, overview of the history, theory and transformations of our experience and concepts of time and space.
