Reviews
"Using films, books, and personal experiences as touchstones, Renouard offers a thoughtful consideration not of the internet's properties or even its possibilities but how its very presence changes us as human beings. A pleasing metaphysical ramble through the nexus of self, emotion, memory, and experience in the digital age." -- Kirkus Reviews " Fragments of an Infinite Memory , translated beautifully from the French by Peter Behrman de Sinéty, is a meditation on the many ways that the internet has changed how we register, remember, and forget the past. . . This is not a how-to manual or a guide to overcoming internet addiction, nor is it a nostalgic paean to the analog days before the information superhighway. No, Renouard's book is something that we don't see enough of--a clear-eyed and not particularly sentimental look at the role played by the internet in our intellectual lives." --Kate Prengel, Words Without Borders "Maël Renouard turns cultural theory on its head: in his brave new world, it is the internet that meditates on Proust, not the other way round." --Tom McCarthy "Maël Renouard's zigzagging essay in search of time lost, time wasted--the time lost and wasted in the virtual world of the internet--is elegant, brilliant, and urgent." --Adam Thirlwell "Maël Renouard takes us on a conceptual adventure, meditating on what remains and what is forgotten and observing the progressive annexation of our interiority by the external and infinite memory that is the internet." -- Philosophie Magazine "Renouard is never less than fascinating." -- Kaggsy's Bookish Ramblings "The French writer and translator Maël Renouard was born in 1979, which means that he--like this reviewer--belongs to the last generational cohort in human history to have known life both before and after the internet. In this thoughtful and erudite essay-memoir he reminisces fondly about the analogue era's fin-de-siècle, a halcyon world of snail mail, vintage cinema posters and uncluttered headspace." --Houman Barekat, TLS, "Using films, books, and personal experiences as touchstones, Renouard offers a thoughtful consideration not of the internet's properties or even its possibilities but how its very presence changes us as human beings.

It's allusive and full of unexpected digressions, structurally experimental and ironic." --Gavin Francis, The New York Review of Books
Synopsis
A deeply informed, yet playful and ironic look at how the internet has changed human experience, memory, and our sense of self, and that belongs on the shelf with the best writings of Roland Barthes and Jean Baudrillard. "One day, as I was daydreaming on the boulevard Beaumarchais, I had the idea--it came and went in a flash, almost in spite of myself--of doing a Google search to find out what I had been up to and where I had been the previous evening, since my own recollections were confused." So begins Ma l Renouard's Fragments of an Infinite Memory , a provocative and elegant inquiry into life in a wireless world. Renouard is old enough to remember life before the Internet but young enough to have fully accommodated his life to the Internet and the gadgets that support it. Here this young philosopher, novelist, and translator tests a series of conjectures on how human experience, especially the sense of self, is being changed by our continual engagement with a memory that is impersonal and effectively boundless. Renouard has written a book that is rigorously impressionistic, deeply informed historically and culturally, but also playful, ironic, personal, and formally adventurous, a book that stands with comparison with the best of Roland Barthes and Jean Baudrillard., A deeply informed, yet playful and ironic look at how the internet has changed human experience, memory, and our sense of self, and that belongs on the shelf with the best writings of Roland Barthes and Jean Baudrillard. "One day, as I was daydreaming on the boulevard Beaumarchais, I had the idea-it came and went in a flash, almost in spite of myself-of Googling to find out what I'd been up to and where I'd been two evenings before, at five o'clock, since I couldn't remember on my own."

- r***w (214)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoItem was lost in delivery- but after some communication, seller was understanding and provided a refund. I ordered another and had it sent elsewhere. My main issue was that it felt as if I was getting automated responses at first!! Please have humans review human inquiries!! It was painstaking explaining the situation to an A.I. who only repeats unhelpful replies. Thanks again!! Otherwise. Great price! Great seller!
- a***a (346)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoThis hardback book is of the highest quality, has a fine appearance , arrived in perfect condition, and is an excellent value. On what I was not asked about this time, communicating with the seller would have required using email outside of the eBay system, because they do not accept eBay messages, the book was well packed in a purpose-designed cardboard box, the shipping was faster than I expected for the bound media rate, and the book was exactly as described and pictured.Tameshigiri - The History and Development of Japanese Sword Testing by Sesko (N° 282906424466)
- a***o (684)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoBook is like new as described (remainder). Price was fair Shipping time was quick, but one problem is the packaging. It was simply put in a big brown envelope (too big for the mailbox) with no inner packing i.e no plastic wrapping inside to protect the book. The book was left outside our door in the rain while we were out and the envelope was soaked. When we dried the package and opened it the back of the dust jacket was wet. I suggest the seller use some inner package packing to the protect it
