Reviews
"""This book bravely takes us through the liquid reality of the technological vortex that is life today in the quantum zone - where the spectrality of our primordial ghost wave/particles collides with the hyper-frequencies of a society already consumed by its own algorithmic data storm - then plots a series of (creative) escape vectors in these electrified times."" - Jackson Leween, 2bears, Canada Research Chair (Tier 2) in Indigenous Arts Research and Technology and Associate Professor of Art, University of Lethbridge ""The Quantum Revolution captures the cultural phase transitions from particle capitalism(s) to the hyper-waves of careening entanglements of our post-contemporary emergency states and unexpected e-mergences. The Quantum Revolution book is the 62-qubit quantum critical processor we need to dive between hyper-phasing power and superstring bodies co-creating in the hinges of extreme transition."" - Ricardo Dominguez, Professor of Visual Arts, University of California San Diego, and co-founder of Electronic Disturbance Theater 3.0 ""The Quantum Revolution is a brilliantly argued book that offers a recipe of insurgent hopefulness for our cataclysmic age of socio/techno/ecological emergency. From ecological decline and digital divide to capital excess and material waste, the quantum zone is theorized by Kroker and Cook as the stultifying condition of the twenty-first century. Readers of this spellbinding critical tale will be enraptured by the authors' quantum revolution that reclaims the public sphere through the verve of artistic imagination. - Timothy Murray, author of Technics Improvised: Activating Touch in Global Media Art"
