About the blog

This is where I’m blogging the research and writing for my book ‘Now We Are Different’ (working title, but it’s holding up to scrutiny so far). It’s about the ways in which the digital media environment actually fundamentally alters who we are as human beings.

If you have any relevant links you think worth checking out, please post them to del.icio.us and tag them ‘nowdiff’. Thanks very much.

Now We Are Different

Media are environments. Our media environment has changed radically - and is still changing - due to digital technology.

The name we give to the process of adaptation to a changed environment is 'evolution'. It's not about becoming better - but becoming different as a creative response to external stimuli.

Now We Are Different puts forward the provocation that we are engaged in an evolutionary process that we are virtually oblivious to, but which has progressed to the point now that we are - in mind, body and culture - a new category of human being.
