He suggests that our failure to properly understand the digital is due to our lack of recognition of its political, aesthetic, and psycho-sexual elements. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMixing autobiographical passages with critical analysis, Burnham situates a Žižekian theory of digital culture in the lived human body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eClint Burnham \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of English at Simon Fraser University, Canada.
