- This output is a full-length 80,000 word monograph composed of six distinct chapters. The main theme - the relationship of networked digital devices with consciousness and collective action - represents a unique and challenging undertaking to synthesise complex research fields such as philosophy of consciousness, philosophy of technology and neuroscientific perspectives on consciousness, framed against multiple perspectives in network politics, critical theory and media and cultural studies. The book represents five years of research and builds an innovative transdisciplinary framework towards the concept of ‘Gadget Consciousness’.
