"Technologies of Magic charts curious territory - a place occupied by both machines
and magic. This collection of essays investigates the co-existence of very old forms
of thought - belief in ghosts, magic, spirits - and contemporary culture. Refracted
through highly technologised societies, magic manifests itself in surprising ways
and through a diverse range of practices. Apprehension of the magical - in the
world of machines - can give rise to a feeling of uncanny unease. These essays show
that ultimately this produces another way of thinking about technology in contemporary
culture."
