Have you heard the story about the android that took to the operatic stage of eighteenth century London? Of the inventor who used musical chords to power an engine and fire a canon? What about the composer who helped the most beautiful woman in the world build a missile guidance system? Three True Tales About Music and Technology re-imagines these episodes from the sometimes tumultuous history of interactions between the sonic arts and technoscience as a series of folk tales and fairy stories—that just so happen to be true.

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. The story of the compact disc is also the story of the end of physical media. It is the story of how the quest for perfection laid the grounds for the death of a great industry. For in the passage from analogue media, like records and tapes, to digital formats, like CDs, something changed in the nature of media and in the relationship we have with music. Music became code, a sequence of 1s and 0s, a flow of pure information. The material structure of the medium itself was always supposed to disappear. But the physical has proved to possess an uncanny knack for returning. Today the CD is a zombie medium, still popular amongst certain avant-garde record labels and Japanese consumers. Against all the odds, the spectre endures. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.

Für Charles Fourier gab es keine Utopie ohne Musik. Der französische Dramatiker und Saint-Simonist Charles Duveyrier träumte von einer Stadt als Klangkörper, einem im Zentrum gelegenen Soundtempel. Hugo Gernsback ersann eine telematische Oper. Bertold Brecht wollte das Publikum singen lassen, die Futuristen eine neue Geräuschkunst erfinden und John Cage den Klang befreien. Doch was ist heute die Musik der Zukunft? Die Streamingdienste sorgen dafür, dass der Einzelne immer von Musik umgeben ist, und versuchen, sich auf technischem Wege an das Individuum zu assimilieren. Begonnen hat diese Art des Generierens von Playlisten 1994 mit einem Programm namens "Ringo": die erste Software, um Musik dem Geschmack des Hörers anzupassen, zu filtern, zu steuern. Das funktionierte zunächst simpel mit Bewertungen, die der Nutzer abgibt. Der Weg bis zur heutigen Nutzung von Spotify, Deezer, Tidal & Co war aber noch weit: Heute sollen Algorithmen sich der körperlichen Aktivität, der Psyche des Hörers anpassen.

Suicide, and how civilized people should respond to it, is an increasingly controversial topic in modern society. In Holland, suicide is the third leading cause of death of people between the ages of fifteen and forty. In the United States, it is the second leading cause of death among older teenagers. Laws prohibiting assisted suicide are being directly and boldly confronted by activists in the United States, most notably Jack Kevorkian. Meanwhile, the American Civil Liberties Union has publicly declared suicide a fundamental human right that should be protected under the Constitution. The Hemlock Society has introduced referenda in California, Washington, and Oregon to legalize suicide and assisted suicide. The most vocal opposition to these initiatives has come from the Roman Catholic church.Breaking the Thread of Life marshalls philosophical, moral, medical, historical, and theological arguments in support of the Roman Catholic position against suicide. In a comprehensive study of the history of suicide, Barry shows that Christian civilization was one of only a few early societies that was able to bring suicide under control. He counters claims that Catholicism and the Bible endorse rational suicide. Barry also analyzes arguments in support of the rationality of suicide and illuminates their biases, inadequacies, and dangers.Barry presents the rationale for the Roman Catholic church''s strong, extensive, and articulate opposition to efforts to gain legal and social endorsement of suicide and assisted suicide. His book represents the most complete study of the classical Roman Catholic view of rational suicide to date, and it will be of significant interest to philosophers, theologians, physicians, and lawyers.

Le travail de Robert Barry combine un intérêt pour la peinture sur le terrain et le mot imprimé. Ce livre, dans lequel les lettres à l''encre d''argent sont imprimées sur du papier rose, est la suite naturelle de ces préoccupations. En découvrant ces mots, parties de mots, d''expressions ou de pages blanches, Barry crée un labyrinthe pour le lecteur dans lequel les groupes de lettres prennent la position d''éléments visuels dominants. Tout comme certains mots tombent littéralement de la page imprimée, le livre de Barry parle de la nature ambiguë des limites.
