Antikythera’s upcoming book series with MIT Press deploys a genre of philosophy that is rooted in speculation as a mode for revising past, present, and future. The series investigates the implications for and trajectories of planetary scale computation, including its socio-technical genealogies (scientific, infrastructural, governance), philosophical transitions (epistemological and ontological effects), and geopolitical dynamics (legal, social, economic, policy scenarios, etc).
The series takes a constructive and propositional approach to critical philosophies, integrating fiction and nonfiction, history and futures, and multiple authors. This includes a truly multidisciplinary approach to challenges of governance, regulation, infrastructure, and science alongside the social and cultural impacts. Core subject areas include philosophy, computer science and science-fiction, architecture, urbanism, economics, and science studies.
