This book is a significant update, expansion, and radicalization of Guattari's philosophy of the postmedia. It is the first of its kind to comprehensively apply Guattari's thought on postmedia to post-millennium technological developments. Given the considerable interest in Felix Guattari and Gilles Deleuze's work and its influence in Asia and South-East Asia and beyond, the book is a timely contribution and update of Guattari's essential concepts. It offers a fresh approach to applying Guattari and Deleuze to local contexts.

Both Felix Guattari's schizoanalysis and Gilles Deleuze's philosophy remain excellent tools to decode the politics of postmedia. The book centres around the influence of Guattari's work on the Japanese archipelago and how Japan itself impacted on the work of Guattari in the 1980s. The book updates Guattari's work and applies it to the problems which are affecting societies in Asia and beyond. It highlights current research on postmedia by scholars who are working to understand how Japanese society is functioning post-Fukushima and how the country continues to toil from the "geo-trauma" of the real.

The book explores the relationship between Guattari's philosophy and the Japanese archipelago, examining how the country's unique cultural and political landscape shaped his ideas. It also discusses the impact of Japan on Guattari's work in the 1980s, particularly in the context of the country's economic and social transformations.

One of the key themes of the book is the role of technology in shaping postmedia societies. The authors argue that the increasing reliance on digital media and communication technologies has led to a shift in the way.

Another important theme is the impact of Fukushima on Japanese society and the country's response to the disaster. The book highlights the ways in which the nuclear crisis has affected Japanese culture, politics, and society, and how the country is attempting to rebuild and recover from the disaster.

The authors also offer a critical analysis of the Japanese government's response to Fukushima, arguing that the country's attempts to contain the disaster and prevent further radiation exposure have led to a disregard for the health and well-being of its citizens.

The book is a valuable contribution to the field of postmedia studies, offering a fresh perspective on the relationship between technology, culture, and politics in the post-millennium era. It is particularly relevant to scholars and researchers interested in the influence of Felix Guattari and Gilles Deleuze's work on Asia and South-East Asia, and the ways in which their ideas can be applied to local contexts.

In conclusion, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the politics of postmedia and the impact of technology on society. It offers a comprehensive and critical analysis of Guattari's philosophy and the Japanese archipelago, and provides a valuable insight into the ways in which technology is shaping postmedia societies in the post-millennium era.
