Description

We live in an age when consumption and consuming have come to define us.

Consumption, now a global phenomenon, is so dominant it allows little room for alternatives.

At the same time, information and digitization have become all-pervasive in our media culture .

As ever greater aspects of the world have come to be seen as 'data', information has increasingly become the very currency of consumption.Consumption in an Age of Information maps this new terrain.

Bringing together some of the world's leading theorists and critics, the essays range across high theory and popular culture - from informational flows to science fiction simulations, from pop-cultural consumption to capitalism as religion, from the consumption of time to the role of 'speed' in contemporary culture.
