Description
This spring the ‘net community is buzzing about the soon-to-be released new book Imaginary Futures, by Dr. Richard Barbrook, author, University of Westminster lecturer and a founder of Cybersalon. In his newest literary work, Barbrook traces the political history of the Internet and puts forth a call to action for the cyber-connected to take the world’s most powerful political tool into their own hands to make a better future. Early critical reviews are describing it as a radical, well-researched look at ‘net politics. Visit the Imaginary Futures website to learn more about the book at: http://www.imaginaryfutures.net
Meet the author at his book launch celebration in London’s SoHo.
Barbrook will speak during the press preview and present visuals. He will be joined by Simon Schaffer, Cambridge University Professor and BBC4 presenter, who will give an introduction and overview of Imaginary Futures. Late night entertainment will feature legendary Chicago house performer Robert Owens and DJs Keith Franklin and Ray Stanley.
