Review "Historians of technology know that any tool is also an instrument of exploration, experiment, and simulation. Siegfried Zielinski reminds us that any technology is also a generator of wonder. In fact, Zielinski does not write media history, he writes world history through the generative lens of media as machines of speculation and imagination. This is a material history of dissent, heretical hermeneutics, and electrified alchemic curiosity."—Matteo Pasquinelli, Karlsruhe University of Art and Design Long Description A diverse, enriching volume of media analysis from a pioneering thinker in the field Expanding on Siegfried Zielinskis groundbreaking inquiry into "deep time" of the media, the essays in Variations on Media Thinking further the eminent media theorists unique method of expanded hermeneutics , which means for him interpreting technical artifacts as essential parts of our cultural lives.
