Galloway, Alexander R.
- Abstract
The article presents an examination of cybernetic systems and the virtual world, and how they relate to material life today. It discusses the antagonism that exists in cybernetics, such as in computer games, and how one may come to know it. The author claims that cybernetic systems not only generate and thrive on internal difference and asymmetry but they also establish a logic in which antagonism and struggle are held up as utterly crucial only to be dismissed later as entirely inessential.
