"White Noise" by Andrew Calcutt is an insightful non-fiction book that addresses the complex and often contradictory aspects of the information revolution. Calcutt examines the dual nature of new media and the internet, posing provocative questions about their societal impacts. Is the digital world more masculine or feminine? Does it promote peace or conflict? Through this critical analysis, the book illuminates the deeply rooted contradictions in our society and offers both an optimistic perspective on the possibilities of new communication technologies and a sharp critique of the culture of fear that limits their potential. Calcutt encourages readers to recognize and seize the opportunities of digital transformation rather than being guided by fears.
