Flickering pixels are the tiny dots of light that make up the screens of lifefrom TVs to cell phones. They are nearly invisible, but they change us.In this provocative book, author Shane Hipps takes readers beneath the surface of things to see how the technologies we use end up using us.Not all is dire, however, as Hipps shows us that hidden things have far less power to shape us when they aren't hidden anymore. We are only puppets of our technology if we remain asleep.Flickering Pixels will wake us upand nothing will look the same again.
