It wouldn't much surprise me if DJ Spooky invigorates the intellectual world someday as Professor Spooky or even Chancellor Spooky. -- Bruce Sterling, author of The Hacker Crackdown and Tomorrow Now: Envisioning the Next Fifty Years Dj Spooky and COMA, together sampling provocative thoughts and creative graphic design, have made Rhythm Science a fascinating addition to today's book culture. -- Bernard Tschumi, Architect, Columbia University, author of the Event Cities series Once again, Paul Miller has pushed the sonic arts and sciences to a new level, and in the process re-masted literary form. I guarantee, this book will mess with your head but in a funky way. -- Robin D.G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination We've ended the century of broadcast culture -- when manufacturers produced the culture we consume. In this brilliant and beautiful book, Paul Miller gives us the rhythm of sampled culture -- culture created by those who can remix, and by technologies that enable anyone to remix. Rhythm Science is science; it is art; it is the story of how freedom would build better science and art. Dark, with bright flashes, in tempo, with syncopation, it is a companion to the next stage, if we're allowed that next stage despite law that would keep us locked in the past. -- Lawrence Lessig, Stanford Law School, author of The Future of Ideas: The Fate of the Commons in a Connected World In Rhythm Science Miller remixes sounds and ideas with equal dexterity. A new vibe for a new world. -- John Akomfrah, film director Paul Miller has got the brilliant negro thang down cold. This is a meditation on music and self in which Paul plays with words much the way DJ Spooky plays with sound. -- Toure, author of The Portable Promised Land

Reviews

"Once you get into the flow of things, you're always haunted by the way that things could have turned out. This outcome, that conclusion. You get my drift. The uncertainty is what holds the story together, and that's what I'm going to talk about." - Rhythm Science"
