This book uses the conceptual tools of philosophy to shed light
on digital media and on the way in which they bear upon our
existence. At the turn of the century, the rise of digital media
significantly changed our world. The digitizing of traditional
media has extraordinarily increased the circulation of texts,
sound, and images. Digital media have also widened our horizons
and altered our relationship with others and with ourselves.

Information production and communication are still undoubtedly
significant aspects of digital media and life. Recently, however,
recording, registration and keeping track have taken the upper
hand in both online practices and the imaginaries related to
them. The essays in this book therefore focus primarily on the
idea that digital media involve a significant overlapping between
communication and recording.
