Uncomputable
Play and Politics In the Long Digital Age
Book • 2021
Uncomputable by Alexander R. Galloway explores the interplay between play, computation, and politics in what he terms the long digital age.
Galloway argues that certain forms of play and uncomputability resist instrumental rationalization and create sites for political intervention.
The book draws on media theory, game studies, and critical theory to analyze how computational systems shape social and political life.
Galloway critiques deterministic narratives of computation while mapping strategies of refusal and resistance within digital environments.
The work situates contemporary digital phenomena within a longer historical and theoretical trajectory of computation and culture.
