| This book explores the relationship between living and code and software. It does so because these technologies increasingly make up an important part of our urban environment, and indeed stretching even to very remote areas of the world. The book introduces and explores the way in which code and software become the conditions of possibility for human living, crucially becoming a computational ecology which we inhabit. As such we need to take account of this new computational world and think about how we live today in a highly mediated code-based world. Computer code and software are not merely mechanisms, they represent an extremely rich form of media. They differ from previous instantiations of media forms in that they are highly processual. They can also have agency delegated to them, which they can then prescribe back onto other actors, but which also remain within the purview of humans to seek to understand.

| Kevin Slavin ; argues that we're living in a world designed for -- and increasingly controlled by -- algorithms. He shows how these complex computer programs determine: espionage tactics, stock prices, movie scripts, and architecture. And he warns that we are writing code we can't understand, with implications we can't control.

| | |
| When first discovered in 2010, the Stuxnet computer worm posed a very strange puzzle. Beyond its unusually high level of sophistication loomed a more troubling mystery: what was its purpose? Ralph Langner and team helped crack the programming code that revealed this digital warhead's final target – and its origins in international politics and cyberwarfare. This is a fascinating look inside cyber-forensics and the processes of reading code to understand how it works and what it attacks.
