The Culture of the Copy: Striking Likenesses, Unreasonable Facsimiles
Out of stock
$12.00
Considering how many tricky ethical and legal questions there are with various electronic reproductions, The Culture of the Copy is a timely book. Our fascination with copies, replicas, and reproduction is explored in this unusual and engaging historical and cultural survey. While it isn’t solely about electronic copies, the historical review of the technology of reproduction sets our current debates over copyright and intellectual property in the digital age in perspective. In fact, Schwartz suggests that the ethical dilemmas in many fields have become inseparable from our pursuit of copies.
Book is in Very Good condition and shows light general wear. There may be slight shelfwear to edges and wraps, however binding will be fully intact and most wear will be superficial. *Image in the listing is stock. There may be variation in the actual product.
