Antikythera’s upcoming digital journal and book series with MIT Press deploys a genre of philosophy that is rooted in speculation as a mode for revising past, present, and future. Publications investigate the implications for and trajectories of planetary scale computation, including its socio-technical genealogies (scientific, infrastructural, governance), philosophical transitions (epistemological and ontological effects), and geopolitical dynamics (legal, social, economic, policy scenarios, etc).
The Antikythera book series takes a constructive and propositional approach to critical philosophies, integrating fiction and nonfiction, history and futures, and works by multiple authors. Core subject areas include philosophy, computer science and science-fiction, architecture, urbanism, economics, and science studies.
Antikythera’s multimedia journal with MIT Press publishes projects that engage philosophies of planetary computation through writing, cinema, and code. The journal pairs writers and designers to advance insights related to Antikythera’s core research themes and enhancing content through rich and dynamic web media. Many journal articles complement and augment the books in the Antikythera series. The journal will preview in late 2024, with official launch of the first issue in Spring 2025.
