- Summary:
- Since the early nineteenth century, when entomologists first popularised the unique biological and behavioural characteristics of insects, technological innovators and theorists have proposed insects as templates for a wide range of technologies. This book analyses how insect forms of social organization - swarms, hives, webs, and distributed intelligence - have been used to structure modern media technologies and the network society, providing a radical new perspective on the interconnection of biology and technology.
