"""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 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 ""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"
