_Gunther Anders' Philosophy of Technology _is the first comprehensive
exploration of the ground-breaking work of German thinker Gunther
Anders. Anders' philosophy has become increasingly prescient in our
digitised, technological age as his work predicts the prevalence of
social media, ubiquitous surveillance and the turn to big data.
Anders' ouevre also explored the technologies of nuclear power and the
biotech concerns for the human and transhuman condition which have
become so central to current theory.
Babette Babich argues that Anders offers important resources on
streaming digital media through his writings on radio, television and
film and is, unusually, both a comprehensive and profound thinker.
Anders' relationship with key philosophers like Hannah Arendt and
Walter Benjamin and his thinking on Goethe, Nietzsche and Rilke is
also explored with a focus on the deep impact he made on his peers. It
reflects specifically on the intersection of Anders' thought Heidegger
and the Frankfurt school and how influential a figure he was on the
landscape of 20th century philosophy. A compelling rehabilitation of a
thinker with profound contemporary relevance.
