This book outlines the development currently underway in the technology of new media and looks further to examine the unforeseen effects of this phenomenon on our culture, our philosophies, and our spiritual outlook. The digital revolution is something fundamentally different from simply the introduction of yet another medium to our culture: it marks a paradigm shift in our relation to all media, to all our senses, all our expressions. The new media are transforming our definitions of culture and knowledge and transcending barriers in ways that will have lasting implications for generations

It experiments with language & structure in a way that pushes the limits of contemporary poetry. It touches on issues related to contemporary Western society: mass media culture, gender politics, post-industrial technology, & the politics of post-modern culture.

In the first volume of "How Canadians Communicate" the editors examined and assessed the health of Canada’s cultural industries circa 2003.
