Although the scale of the information economy and the impact of digital media on social life in China today could pale that of any other country, the story of their emergence in the post-Mao sociopolitical environment remains untold. Information Fantasies offers a revisionist account of the emergence of the “information society,” arguing that it was not determined by the technology of digitization alone but developed out of a set of techno-cultural imaginations and practices that arrived alongside postsocialism.
Anticipating discussions on information surveillance, data collection, and precarious labor conditions today, Xiao Liu goes far beyond the current scholarship on internet and digital culture in China, questioning the limits of current new-media theory and history, while also salvaging postsocialism from the persistent Cold War structure of knowledge production.
Ranging over forgotten science fiction, unjustly neglected films, corporeal practices such as qigong, scientific journals, advertising, and cybernetic theories, Information Fantasies constructs an alternate genealogy of digital and information imaginaries—one that will change how we look at the development of the postsocialist world and the emergence of digital technologies.
Xiao Liu is assistant professor of East Asian studies at McGill University.

评分历史视角、文本分析、媒体研究结合的很好。彼时西方世界AI研究兴起,中国的“新时期”亦踏歌而来。钱学森、气功研究、人工智能、科幻小说及至今天的AI、cloud computing、crowdsourcing,当初的妙想在科技上一步步实现,而在日常生活的政治上一步步化为泡影甚至反讽。

评分本书的论点主要分为两部分:1. 80年代无处不在的mediation,包括信息话语的爆炸,媒介逻辑的跨媒介再现,控制论对认知、历史书写、电影再现的入侵;2.这种mediation是precarious的:信息技术时常会失灵,更重要的是,这种mediation的历史条件也是precarious的,随着中国拥抱全球资本主义,社会进入一种往者不可谏、来者尚不可追的边缘状态,型塑mediation同时也被媒介再现捕捉。总的来说第1部分比较成功,第二部分时有牵强或流于表面的感觉。
