“The book’s organization is particularly useful to those who are not experts in these fields … . Bioinformational Philosophy and Postdigital Knowledge Ecologies, Peters et al. (2022) provide a balanced range of authors arguments and analyses which shift between hope and pessimism for our postdigital futures. I would agree that this approach is very much needed for such a topic that is weaved throughout everything we do.” (Greg William Misiaszek, Postdigital Science and Education, Vol. 4 (3), 2022)
