book review: gramophone, film, typewriter by friedrich a. kittler

A gramophone, film, and typewriter now sits in your pocket. It is always connected, it is always writing, and it may be preparing you for how you will participate in the next war. Kittler's 1986 book provides an idea of how to look at today's communication technology as an analogy for understanding ourselves and as a mode of history.
