The Twittering Machine

In artist Paul Klee"™s The Twittering Machine, the bird-song of a diabolical machine acts as bait to lure humankind into a pit of damnation. Richard Seymour argues that this is a chilling metaphor for our fixation with social media. His new book probes the human side of the machine, asking what we"™re getting out of it, and what we"™re getting into.
