Description: The Switch: An Off and On History of Digital Humans, by Jason Puskar. 2023 First Edition Trade Paperback. Like New Trade Paperback. The Switch traces the sudden rise of a technology that has transformed everyday life for billions of people: the binary switch. By chronicling the rapid growth of binary switching since the mid-nineteenth century, Jason Puskar contends that there is no human activity as common today as pushing a button or flipping a switch—the deceptively simple act of turning something on or off. More than a technical history, The Switch offers a cultural and political analysis of how reducing so much human action to binary alternatives has profoundly reshaped modern society. About the Seller: The Friends of the Shorewood Public Library is a non-profit membership organization which supports the mission of the suburban Milwaukee, Wisconsin library.
