Harper and Savat revitalize Deleuze for the age of new media. The book flags the political urgency of Deleuze and Guattari’s ideas … Indeed, the book’s greatest strength is how it, in an accessible manner, mobilizes Deleuze’s (and Guattari’s) core ideas and how these can connect with the concerns of media studies.
