The object of this remarkable book is as clear as it is relevant —to provide the English-speaking readership with a complete and objective presentation of Gilbert Simondon’s philosophy of individuation and technology. Gilbert Simondon: Information, Technology and Media is a truly innovative study, which shows how to rethink the concept of information in an increasingly complex socio-technological system. -- Vincent K. Bontems, Director of the Atelier Simondon Simon Mills’s book is a timely and valuable introduction to Gilbert Simondon’s theory of information and individuation.  Despite the fact that Simondon’s philosophy is steadily gaining more attention and recognition worldwide, English translations have been slow in coming; this book thus fills a gap in the Anglophone scholarship and will surely be a helpful English resource for those interested in understanding Simondonian concepts and the significance of Simondon’s thought for Continental Philosophy and Media Studies.  -- Nandita Biswas Mellamphy, Associate Professor of Poitical Science, Western University
