Review
If you have had enough of the logic of maximum performance, organized by process management and promoting maximum predictability and minimum error, this brilliant collection of essays is the book for you. Doubling the history of control through a genealogy of error, this collection maps the possibility of asystematic resistance in cybernetic networks, challenging the reader to imagine the liberating potential of going astray. Giving in to the pull of the unintended and the unforeseen, the glitch aesthetic of jams and hacks, errors and noise outlined in this book provides a possible model of flight from the terror of efficiency that haunts network societies.
