This book investigates the intersection of new media theatre, globalization, and surveillance to determine how digital performance functions as a radical political instrument. Gabriella Giannachi, a scholar in the field of performance and new media, synthesizes theories of biopolitics and virtuality to examine how artistic practices respond to contemporary power structures. The text provides a framework for understanding how mixed reality and computer arts challenge traditional political boundaries and surveillance mechanisms.

Experts recognize this work as a foundational text for those studying the convergence of digital technology and political theatre. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose and the breadth of the theoretical framework applied to contemporary art.
