{"product_id":"living-in-technical-legality-kieran-tranter-9781474474795","title":"Living in Technical Legality: Science Fiction and Law as Technology","description":"\u003cp\u003eThrough detailed readings of popular science fiction, including the novels of Frank Herbert and Octavia E. Butler and television's \u003cem\u003eBattlestar Galactica\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eDoctor Who\u003c\/em\u003e, this is the first sustained examination of legality in science fiction. Kieran Tranter includes substantive worked examples of the law and legal concepts projected by these science fiction texts, such as Australian car culture, legal responses to cloning and the relationship between legal theory and science fiction. By examining science fiction as the culture of our total technological world, it journeys with the partially-consumed human into the belly of the machine. What it finds is unexpected. Rather than a cold uniformity of exchangeable productive units, there is warmth, diversity and 'life' for the nodes in the networks. Through its science fiction focus it argues that this life generates a very different law of responsibility that can guide living well in technical legality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kieran Tranter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474474799\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474474795\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Kieran Tranter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44450347319551,"sku":"9781474474795","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ba8a3ff0-b03c-4735-b5f1-6fd74b8418ba.jpg?v=1698504282","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/living-in-technical-legality-kieran-tranter-9781474474795","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
