GHOSTS IN THE MACHINE KARTONIERT (TB)

Ghosts in the Machine examines the complex relationships between gender and information and
communication technologies (ICT). Written by women in four countries on three continents  it
discusses the educational  social  artistic  and political implications of a feminine voice in
the design of technology. The research presented here explores the «gendering of technology»
and  in doing so  describes the Internet  computer games  computer-based design and
construction environments  and digital art from a perspective that puts the social context in a
key role. As the rate of technology design continues to grow  it is imperative that books such
as this provide an alternate voice to the prevailing descriptions of technology use. Ghosts in
the Machine brings women's voices out of the shadows to the forefront where they belong.
