Introduction: What is code and software?
This book explores the relationship between living and code and software. It does so because these technologies increasingly make up an important part of our urban environment, and indeed stretching even to very remote areas of the world. The book introduces and explores the way in which code and software become the conditions of possibility for human living, crucially becoming a computational ecology which we inhabit. As such we need to take account of this new computational world and think about how we live today in a highly mediated code-based world. Computer code and software are not merely mechanisms, they represent an extremely rich form of media. They differ from previous instantiations of media forms in that they are highly processual. They can also have agency delegated to them, which they can then prescribe back onto other actors, but which also remain within the purview of humans to seek to understand. (more...)
