What can the sounds of today tell us about the future? Can an analysis of sound and sonic practices allow us to make reliable predictions in relation to wider social phenomena? And what might they tell us about technology in a world where futurology is such a frenzied and busy field? In order to answer these questions, this book tests a range of propositions that connect noise, sound and music to political, economic and technological events. Hence it is a book about historical trajectories and conflicting ideas about time and the necessity to re-contextualize and interpret them in the digital age. - Stephen Kennedy is Principal Lecturer in Media & Communication and Media Arts at University of Greenwich, UK. He is a critical theorist and political philosopher whose research ranges in scope from an analytic assessment of the figure of new technology in governmental policy to the circulation of cultural capital within mediated environments.
