Your Computer Is On Fire

摘要

As the title indicates, this collection of essays calls on its readers to engage more directly with digital politics. The chapters range from Trojan horse programs to child pornography detection, from game design to keyboard interface, from mobile banking in Africa to ICT classrooms in India. In what follows, I outline the main argument and structure of the book, then consider its pertinence to the history of technology, and conclude with a comment on politics and the book's audience.
