- Arguing for a re-engagement with the first-generation of critical theorists in relation to the digital, Critical Theory and the Digital (Bloomsbury, 2014) is underpinned by extensive theoretical and critical research in relation to the writings of the early Frankfurt School. Drawing on Adorno, Horkheimer, Marcuse, and others the book revisits key critical concepts and ideas within this critical tradition. The resulting interdisciplinary study, 105,000 words long, draws together critical theory, digital technology, recent developments in network culture, digital aesthetics, computation, and philosophy to offer new perspectives on digital transformations together with a constellation of critical concepts to understand the digital.
