Technoculture is culture--such is the proposition posited in Technoscience and Cyberculture; arguing that technologys permeation of the cultural landscape has so irrevocably reconstituted this terrain that technology emerges as the dominant discourse in politics; medicine and everyday life. The problems addressed in Technoscience and Cyberculture concern the ways in which technology and science relate to one another and organize; orient and effect the landscape and inhabitants of contemporary culture.

An Indian Celebration of English LiteratureBy THREEKAYA literary extravaganza from Rabindranath Tagore - the one and only English literature Nobel laureate; from India. His extensive knowledge on every subject with regard to the spiritual and physical aspects of nature and man; which according to him; exist for the sole purpose of creation rather than production is the idea behind this wonderful book.His literary meaning to some of the great poems by Keats; Wordsworth and Shelley in conjunction with Godrsquo;s creative unity of naturersquo;s own beauties; are to be well noted. His emphasis on poetry and literary art skills of our ancestors in paving the way for a harmonious existence with naturersquo;s beauty and Godrsquo;s love is well brought out by the author. The authorrsquo;s rich knowledge about the importance of birth; childhood; adulthood; womanhood; and old age with respect to their inherent strengths; weaknesses and their synchronization with naturersquo;s own creative ability is the main objective of the author. The influence of Western education on the Eastern value system and its detrimental effects on the thinking capacities of the students of the East can never be better explained. Finally; the need to create a versatile World University to receive and impart education from both the hemispheres and its ability to create learners and teachers that can constructively unify the different varieties of creative thinking into a single unified strength for the benefit of the world citizens is called upon.A rich celebration of classic literature and the heights of English word experience; in this book. Hats off to the vision and knowledge of this great author from India; who has taken the pride of his country; to every shore of this world. One must read this book to experience the joy of English literature in context to Godrsquo;s creation and the purpose of its unification with manrsquo;s learning.Speaking about the darker part of this work; the author has very cleverly put forward his hatred towards Western culture and Christianity. Simultaneously he took care in praising its roots of becoming the basis of empowering the West with useful knowledge and creative abilities; probably to avoid the wrath of the British who were ruling India at that time.My rating is 3.25 out of 50 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I have never seen anything like it beforeBy EmmelineEvery page of this book had the same photograph that is on the cover; a very dark and eerie countenance; which creeped me out and interfered with my reading of the text. Very weird and distressing format; I have never seen anything like it before; and hope not to again.
