This book explores a Deleuzian way of understanding information by retracing Deleuze's ontology of difference back to Gilbert Simondon's concepts of transduction, metastability, and perpetual individuation as a source for Deleuze's concept of the virtual. Although Deleuze did not address information specifically in his oeuvre, this book attempts to construct what a Deleuzian theory of information might look like as a consequence of his philosophical insights.
