In this stimulating and wide ranging book, Darryl Naranjit analyses the part played by language and communications on modern society. Starting from the reaction against idealism, the linguistic philosophy enunciated by theorists such as Frege, Russell and Wittgenstein brought into focus language and its connection to reality as a major concern of philosophy. Naranjit extends Wittgenstein's concept of 'language games' and develops the mathematics to describe this concept. The game generated by a sentence is, for example, a topological space. The author points out how language and communication construct our reality and, in our information society, how the media play an important role in this construction of reality. The issue of media imperialism is examined as also the idea that the main weapons of modern Empire are telecommunications and propaganda.
