About the Book

“This text is mainly the spelling out of what  felt  to me like a physical experience of spirit.

The question of interaction is analyzed in different stages, in its connection to fiction as something intrinsic to technology. It has, as point of departure and reference, the pioneering steps taken by Walt Disney along the path of  joining technology to different  entertainment medium.

I am approaching  several aspects of  American pop culture  and American life  as related to technology, viewed through the common denominators of interaction  and fiction. The  topics are written in a confessional and yet reflection-oriented style, so that the element of particularity and passion is deliberately preserved, along with objective questioning.”
