Recensioner i media

Anna Greenspan adeptly interweaves the concept of Wave, linking premodern Confucian, Buddhist, and Daoist thought with today's rapidly changing, wireless China. This elucidates the historical and metaphysical underpinnings of contemporary Chinese media culture in all its intricacy. It leaves us keen to see where the waves of technology will carry China amid current geopolitical turbulence.
