We sat down with author Alexander Galloway to discuss his new book Uncomputable: Play and Politics in the Long Digital Age.
Narrating some lesser known episodes from the deep history of digital machines, Galloway explains the technology that drives the world today. With an eye for the limits of rationality in computing, Galloway shows how computation emerges or fails to emerge, how the digital thrives but also atrophies, how networks interconnect while also fray and fall apart. By re-building obsolete technology using today’s software, the past comes to light in new ways.
