Publisher's Notes
Melancholic and introspective, ironical and apolitical, the urban cynic is a myth of our time. In a provocative study, Timothy Bewes charts the development of contemporary society's culture of cynicism. This is a book for all those fascinated by the state of politics, critical thinking, and the plight of the individual in the 21st century.

Incorporations
by Jonathan Crary
This volume of ZONE explores the ongoing convergence of what were once the distinct worlds of the machine and the organism. INCORPORATIONS, through essays, image-text projects, photographic dossiers, and philosophical and scientific articles, examines the increasing breakdown of the bound aries between biology and technology and the social, cultural, and political effects of this merging. INCORPORATIONS is about the diverse ways in which human beings are integrated into larger systems and processes of social and technological organization, and the many ways in which the very meaning of the word "life" has been reconfigured. In its heterogeneous approach, ZONE 6 provides a rich cartographic description of the particular capacities and trajectories of contemporary biotechnic arrangements drawing on the work of neurologists, anthropologists, filmmakers, architects, philosophers, historians, biologists, dancers, novelists, and artists.
