The Closed World
The Closed World offers a radically new alternative to the canonical histories of computers and cognitive science. Arguing that we can make sense of computers as tools only when we simultaneously grasp their roles as metaphors and political icons, Paul Edwards shows how Cold War social and cultural contexts shaped emerging computer technology--and were transformed, in turn, by information machines.

In the process, it reveals intimate links between...

Infernal Love
"Heart-stopping horror...Paul Edwards is a startling new voice in fear fiction, and in Infernal Love he conjures an imaginative, mood-drenched and genuinely frightening supernatural shocker." - Dante Tomaselli, director of Desecration, Satan's Playground and Torture Chamber."Paul Edwards's novella Infernal Love is a literary love letter to 1960s and 70s occult horror, a deliciously twisted East European nightmare full of demonic births, apocalyptic portents and the occult...
