Media and Psychoanalysis

At last, the book we have been waiting for – that comprehensive text that bites off as much as it can chew from our ragingly complex contemporary media and technology landscape, and then subjects what it finds to the psychoanalytic gaze. From AI to Žižek, the authors have tamed a dizzyingly diverse body of theory into a brilliant, comprehensive, and significant text. Johanssen and Krüger have crushed it.

This book is a tour de force . . . Its analysis is utterly compelling: at the same time erudite and accessible. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
