[Commlist] New Book: Language of Tomorrow

Intellect is pleased to announce that /*Language of Tomorrow: Towards a 
Transcultural Visual Communication System in a Posthuman Condition 
<https://www.intellectbooks.com/language-of-tomorrow>*/, by Haytham 
Nawar, is now available in ebook and hardback.

This book gives an overview of the development of the evolution of 
language through a philosophical lens, and is a culmination of research 
combining visual communication, semiotic theory, cultural studies, 
linguistics, artificial intelligence and new media.

It discusses the future of communication – through a pictographic 
framework – and the possibility of developing a standardized universal 
pictographic communication system that fosters mutual understanding and 
bridges diverse cultures. The research aims to locate the direction that 
research and development of a universal language for the posthuman era 
could take through the contextualization and realization of associated 
practice.

Highly relevant in today's discussion about globalization, language and 
culture, the combination of the view of design, philosophy, culture and 
technology makes this book unique.
