Contributed by Maria DiFrancesco

Bloomsbury recently published Associate Professor James Pfrehm’s book Technolingualism: The Mind and the Machine. The book explores the fascinating ways, past and present, by which language and technology have informed each other's development. It also reveals important corollaries about the universal nature of language and, most importantly, what it means to be human. From our first babbling noises to the ends of our lives, Technolingualism shows how we are innately attuned to the technologies around us, and how our language reflects this. Ultimately, the book argues that we are, all of us, technolinguals.
