As biotechnology defines the new millennium, genetic codes and computer codes increasingly merge-life understood as data, flesh rendered programmable. Where this trend will take us, and what it might mean, is what concerns Eugene Thacker in this timely book, a penetrating look into the intersection of molecular biology and computer science in our day and its likely ramifications for the future.Integrating approaches from science and media studies, Biomedia is a critical analysis of research fields that explore relationships between biologies and technologies, between genetic and computer "codes." In doing so, the book looks beyond the familiar examples of cloning, genetic engineering, and gene therapy-fields based on the centrality of DNA or genes-to emerging fields in which "life" is often understood as "information." Focusing especially on interactions between genetic and computer codes, or between "life"

Biomass said An innovative look at biotech. This is an exciting book - it's basically a look at biotech from the angle of new media or media studies. Clear, astute descriptions of current research, as well as innovative ways of looking at the research. And best of all, there's none of the familiar jargon of cyborgs, cyberspace, or "virtual" this or that. Thacker goes beyond what alot of science studies and media studies have said on this topic, and opens up worthwhile new avenues to explore.As a recent grad student, I've read more than enough books on
