Description: This twentieth anniversary edition of Brian Massumi's pioneering and highly influential Parables for the Virtual includes a significant new preface that situates the book in relation to developments since its first publication and outlines the evolution of its main concepts.
Review Quotes: "Parables for the Virtual has become an indispensable reference point for many of the most vigorous intellectual developments of the past decade. It points the way to a style of thought that might well lead to renewed and invigorated conceptualizations of the most varied domains. As one of the most important theory texts of the twenty-first century, Parables remains influential, fertile, and suggestive."--Steven Shaviro, author of "The Universe of Things: On Speculative Realism"
