Booknews
Argues that writers such as James Joyce and Doris Lessing, scientists such as Gregory Bateson and David Bohm, and social theorists such as Jacques Derrida and Michel Serres have predicted and initiated a shift from the mechanistic and individualistic concepts of modernism to a world view in which the self, like other nuclear sites, is at once unified and subject to interference and convergence.
