Communication and Control: Tools, Systems, and New Dimensions examines a wide range of communication structures and control systems from low- to high-tech and advocates a media ecological view of human communication in a time of intelligent, learning machines.

Communication and Control: Tools, Systems, and New Dimensions advocates a systems view of human communication in a time of intelligent, learning machines. This edited collection sheds new light on things as mundane yet still profoundly consequential (and seemingly low-tech ) today as push buttons, pagers and telemarketing systems. Contributors also investigate aspects of remote control related to education, organizational design, artificial intelligence, cyberwarfare, drones, and even binge-viewing on Netflix. In line with a systems view, the collection takes up a media ecological view."
