Insect Media: An Archaeology of Animals and Technology
University of Minnesota Press: Minneapolis, December 2010, Posthumanities-series (edited by Cary Wolfe)

“Jussi Parikka challenges our traditional views of the natural and the artificial. Parikka not only understands insects through the lens of of media and mediation, he also unearths an insect logic at the heart of our contemporary fascination with networks, swarming, and intelligent agents. Insect Media is a book that is sure to create a buzz.”
- Eugene Thacker, New School, author of After Life

- Winner of the 2012 Anne Friedberg Award for Innovative Scholarship (Society for Cinema and Media Studies).

· Digital Contagions: A Media Archaeology of Computer Viruses
Peter Lang: New York, 2007, Digital Formations-series (edited by Steve Jones).

“Inspired by the work of Paul Virilio, Friedrich Kittler, and Gilles Deleuze, this
book chronicles the contemporary digital landscape through the menagerie of
email worms and computer viruses that infect and define it. A self-described
media archeologist, Jussi Parikka is both theoretically nuanced and technically
detailed, a welcome relief coming on the heels of dotcom hysteria over digital
hygiene. The result is a becoming-viral of today’s technological culture. It is
essential reading for anyone infected by the digital contagion.”
—Alexander R. Galloway, Assistant Professor, Department of Culture
and Communication, New York University; Author of Protocol and Gaming.

“Digital Contagions is the first book to look at the computer virus as a historical
and cultural phenomenon, rather than simply as a technological issue. It
brilliantly recounts the history of the emergence of such viruses in the context of
other epidemics, and how these different kinds of contagions are ineluctably
bound together in our technologized, digital culture. The book is an essential text
for helping us come to terms with the massive changes this emerging culture is
bringing about.”
—Charlie Gere, Reader in New Media Research, Lancaster University;
Author of Digital Culture and Art and Time and Technology.

The Spam Book: On Porn, Viruses and Other Anomalous Objects of Digital Culture, co-edited with Dr Tony D. Sampson
Hampton Press, 2009

“Parikka and Sampson present the latest insights from the humanities into software
studies. This compendium is for all you digital Freudians. Electronic deviances
no longer originate in Californian cyber fringes but are hardwired into planetary normalcy.
Bugs breed inside our mobile devices. The virtual mainstream turns out to
be rotten. The Spam book is for anyone interested in new media theory.”
—Geert Lovink, Dutch/Australian media theorist

“What if all those things we most hate about the Internet—the spam, the viruses,
the phishing sites, the flame wars, the latency and lag and interruptions of service,
and the glitches that crash our computers—what if all these are not bugs, but features?
What if they constitute, in fact, the way the system functions? The Spam
Book explores this disquieting possibility.”
—Steven Shaviro, DeRoy Professor of English, Wayne State University
