The book includes five in-depth case studies investigating the transition from analog media to electronic and digital forms: military telegraphy and human–machine incorporation, the establishment of national electronic biopolitical governance in World War I, media as the means of extending spatial and temporal policing, automobility as the mechanism uniting mobility and media, and visual augmentation from Middle Ages spectacles to digital heads-up displays. \u003ci\u003eThe Prison House of the Circuit\u003c\/i\u003e ultimately demonstrates how contemporary media came to create frictionless circulation to maximize control, efficacy, and state power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Univ Of Minnesota Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52681743499544,"sku":"9781517914172","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-prison-house-of-the-circuit-politics-of-control-from-analog-to-digital-paperback-softback-9781517914172","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
