“Feed-Forward embarks on a rigorously philosophical appraisal of Whitehead in relation to our contemporary socio-technical milieu and in the process unfolds a remarkable constellation of interlocking theses about human experience. A Hansen book is always an anticipated event, but Feed-Forward is truly extraordinary. It fundamentally alters the terms of the debate about human perception and cognition in twenty-first-century media environments.”
— Rita Raley, University of California, Santa Barbara
“Feed-Forward is an ambitious and remarkably exciting take on contemporary media read through Alfred North Whitehead’s philosophy. Hansen builds an extremely inspiring study that is rich with implications for philosophers, media theorists, and anyone wanting to understand the microtemporal basis of contemporary culture. Feed-Forward opens up a range of fresh ideas.”
— Jussi Parikka, Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton
“Feed-Forward is a major work, original and highly important. Hansen’s revisionary interpretation of Whitehead’s thought is a deep, thorough, and learned one.”
— Steven Shaviro, Wayne State University
“A major contribution to the field. This is a potentially canonic book for specialists in philosophy, ethics, and media studies. . . . Essential.”
