We find ourselves caught up in a whirlwind of information, where artificial intelligence captivates us, images mesmerize us, data defines us, algorithms remember us, news bombards us, devices connect us, and isolation saddens us. Deeply immersed in the digital realm, we stand as the pioneering inhabitants of the quantum zone, a realm of boundless possibilities. The Quantum Revolution is a exploration of life in the present, delving into the intricate entanglements, creativity, politics, and artistic vision that shape our world. Authors Arthur Kroker and David Cook introduce a fresh perspective, drawing inspiration directly from the quantum imaginary. They perceive the quantum revolution as an everyday reality, where technology advances at lightning speed and where, beneath the façade of digital devices that connect us, the most sophisticated concepts of technology and science originate in mathematics, astrophysics, and biogenetics. These concepts have swiftly permeated human consciousness, shaped social behavior, and crafted individual identity.
The book delves into the concept of the quantum zone as a novel framework for understanding digital culture. It presents captivating stories about art, technology, and society, alongside thoughtful reflections on art as a gateway to comprehending the quantum imaginary. The text is adorned with sixty meticulously selected images, featuring critically engaged photos and artwork, which enhance our understanding and appreciation of politics, society, and culture through the lens of the quantum imaginary's inherent duality.
