TechGnosis
by Erik Davis Eugene ThackerHow does our fascination with technology intersect with the religious imagination? In TechGnosis--a cult classic now updated and reissued with a new afterword--Erik Davis argues that while the realms of the digital and the spiritual may seem worlds apart, esoteric and religious impulses have in fact always permeated (and sometimes inspired) technological communication. Davis uncovers startling connections between such seemingly disparate topics as electricity and alchemy; online roleplaying games and religious and occult practices; virtual reality and gnostic mythology; programming languages and Kabbalah. The final chapters address the apocalyptic dreams that haunt technology, providing vital historical context as well as new ways to think about a future defined by the mutant intermingling of mind and machine, nightmare and fantasy.From the Trade Paperback edition.ology; programming languages and channeled texts.

Professional Web Design (2nd Edition)
by Eric Hunley Erik Simmons Clint EccherThe current state of Web design is in a transitory phase. The latest push is for the use of "standards" set out by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These standards were created so that different browsers will display Web pages in the same, or at least very similar manner. One of the most important elements to these standards has been the increased popularity and usage of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Cascading Style Sheets were created as a means to separate markup from presentation, which results in cleaner code. Because of the immense importance of CSS, the coverage in this book has been increased with a complete chapter dedicated to them. Ultimately, Web design is headed to using pure CSS for all presentation and layout of Web pages. However, at this point, the use of CSS is not quite ready to take over completely. Browsers do not have sufficient support, and the language is still growing. The only way that designers can be certain that a page looks as close as possible to what is intended is through the use of tables. That is the main focus of this edition. The first edition introduced the idea of mortising and the use of nested tables for layout. This edition continues with that, but adds more information about CSS, client-side scripting with JavaScript, and server-side scripting with PHP as sites are growing with the amount of content they are serving. This edition can be seen as a bridge to the future. It explores the traditional methods of table-based design, but introduces more CSS, which will ultimately take over.

The Age of Access: The New Culture of Hypercapitalism, Where all of Life is a Paid-For Experience
by Jeremy RifkinWe are in the midst of a new age in which "concepts, ideas and images--not things--are the real items of value" and where "the purchase of lived experiences becomes the consummate commodity Today's companies avoid amassing physical capital, which can later prove "an albatross" that prevents them from keeping up with rapid technological advances. Instead, they prefer to "outsource ownership," contracting third parties to provide and maintain equipment. This trend combines with others, such as the proliferation of service relationships, to put more emphasis on access than ownership, heralding a time when what companies sell will be human experience itself and all cultural activities will be commodified.
The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future (or, Don't Trust Anyone Under #30)
by Mark BauerleinThis shocking, lively exposure of the intellectual vacuity of today's under thirty set reveals the disturbing and, ultimately, incontrovertible truth: cyberculture is turning us into a nation of know-nothings. Can a nation continue to enjoy political and economic predominance if its citizens refuse to grow up? For decades, concern has been brewing about the dumbed-down popular culture available to young people and the impact it has on their futures. At the dawn of the digital age, many believed they saw a hopeful answer: The Internet, e-mail, blogs, and interactive and hyper-realistic video games promised to yield a generation of sharper, more aware, and intellectually sophisticated children. The terms "information superhighway" and "knowledge economy" entered the lexicon, and we assumed that teens would use their knowledge and understanding of technology to set themselves apart as the vanguards of this new digital era. That was the promise. But the enlightenment didn't happen. The technology that was supposed to make young adults more astute, diversify their tastes, and improve their verbal skills has had the opposite effect. According to recent reports, most young people in the United States do not read literature, visit museums, or vote. They cannot explain basic scientific methods, recount basic American history, name their local political representatives, or locate Iraq or Israel on a map. The Dumbest Generationis a startling examination of the intellectual life of young adults and a timely warning of its consequences for American culture and democracy. Drawing upon exhaustive research, personal anecdotes, and historical and social analysis, Mark Bauerline presents an uncompromisingly realistic portrait of the young American mind at this critical juncture, and lays out a compelling vision of how we might address its deficiencies.
