The Philosopher of Technology strikes again! In Media and the Power of Knowledge, Steve Fuller launches a full-on frontal attack on some of the most important challenges pertaining to our postdigital media-saturated world. Skillfully blending philosophy and action, Fuller offers a deep understanding of changing relationships between media and knowledge and suggests some potent ways of addressing those transformations for the benefit of humanity.

Professor Fuller's excellent book draws from an intricate constellation of ideas and presents a provocative and highly original array of perspectives on the early foundations, historical transformation and contemporary condition of media and the social organisation of knowledge and their incarnation within the emerging contours of digital societies and beyond. Drawing from a range of theoretical traditions, including the work of Max Weber, alongside key media theorists, Fuller develops a potent reconsideration of influencer cultures, social media architectures, mediation and knowledge in a post-truth age; in ways that have significant implications for our understanding of the human condition in a radically transformed democratic and socio-technical landscape.

Taking up Media and the Power of Knowledge, readers new to Steve Fuller's work will encounter a singular, multi-faceted exploration of our current media environment syncopated to the language, ideas and arguments of a remarkable array of thinkers. Readers familiar with Fuller's work will discover his refinement of the Intellectual's role given the instruments of communication theory, rhetoric, politics, intellectual history and religious knowledge sharpened for the post-truth era and expressed through aphorism. All readers will find their intuitions regarding how we should live now insightfully challenged by Fuller's analysis.

Media and the Power of Knowledge takes the reader on a remarkable tour of media and message past and present, making stopovers at unexpected and fascinating places, from medieval controversies about the nature of salvation to experimentation in the Scientific Revolution to 20th-century debates about the heart and soul of American Progressivism.
