Books by Michael Heim

This work seeks to provide a consistent philosophical basis for critically evaluating the impact of word processing on our use of and ideas about language. This edition includes a new foreword by David Gelernter, a new preface by the author, and an updated bibliography.

As we begin to move in and out of a computer-generated world (in the form of virtual reality and computer communications networks), Michael Heim asks, how will the way we perceive our world change? Ranging from Heidegger to Word Processing, Heim writes a lively analysis of the way we and our world are changing in the light and shadow of technology.
