Book Launch

The Four Dimensional Human – by Dr Laurence Scott

TO SIGN UP – Please email Natalie Crown at crown@arcadia,edu to secure your spot.

The title might give it away, but we have a very exciting announcement to make...

...that’s right, we are hosting a book launch event for our very own Dr Scott. As many of you will be aware by now, Laurence’s first book will be published on June 18th.

Join us for a grand old celebration just a few days later (time and date can be found on the facebook group).

Not only will Laurence be in attendance, but his editor – Tom Avery – will be joining us to introduce Laurence’s reading of his book..

There will be drinks and canapés available, as well as copies of Laurence’s book.

Not sure what The Four Dimensional Human is about?

Scott argues that we are increasingly coaxed from the third-dimensional containment of our pre-digital selves into a wonderful and eerie fourth dimension, a world of ceaseless communication, instant information and global connection.

Our portals to this new world have been wedged open, and the silhouette of a figure is slowly taking shape. But what does it feel like to be four-dimensional? How do digital technologies influence the rhythms of our thoughts, the style and tilt of our consciousness? What new experiences are emerging with our exposure to the delights, sorrows and anxieties of networked life? And how do we live in public, with these recoded private lives? 

Tackling ideas of time, space, friendship, commerce, pursuit, and escape, The Four-Dimensional Human is a highly original portrait of life in a digital landscape.
