A notebook with gaps Tibetan in scale is how our reviewer of Digital Mantras by Steven Holtzman, now out in paperback (MIT Press, $16.95/£14.50, ISBN 0 262 58143 4), described the hardback. But he did enjoy much of the book, which is based on Holtzman’s proposition that the underlying structures of our language will converge with the abstract experimentations of modern artists and composers into a digital aesthetic, ushering in a new age of creativity, saying that it was refreshing to read a book on digital technology that exults unquestioningly in its creative potential.
