Duke University Press is pleased to announce the publication of a new book
of interest to Screen-L subscribers: *The Technical Delusion: Electronics,
Power, Insanity* <https://www.dukeupress.edu/the-technical-delusion> by
Jeffrey Sconce.

Sconce traces the history and continuing proliferation of psychological
delusions that center on suspicions that electronic media seek to control
us from the Enlightenment to the present, showing how such delusions
illuminate the historical and intrinsic relationship between electronics,
power, modernity, and insanity. You can read the introduction here
<https://www.dukeupress.edu/Assets/PubMaterials/978-1-4780-0106-5_601.pdf> and
