See the review in  Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews 2010.06.11: "The Digital Cast of Being is a very ambitious attempt to integrate fundamental ontology with a social ontology of the digital economy. It is worth reading and pondering." Val Dusek, University of New Hampshire.

Read also Shawn Loht's review in Auslegung Volume 30 No. 1 2009: "Eldred's approach in this text is commendable because it does not judge the digital cast of being on moral grounds but rather unfolds the topic phenomenologically. ... His argument invites further questioning into what constitutes such a cast and of whether digitization falls within the rubric of Western metaphysics' cast of being as presence."

Bradley Compton writes: "Eldred describes contemporary digital reality as the necessary culmination of Aristotelian, and eventually Cartesian, 'lifting of the logos and number from natural beings'. ... In cadence with Heidegger, Eldred iterates that through time comes access to Being; time 'holds it open, without the logos, or prior to the logos' and that we cannot understand the temporality of Dasein through the logos."

We live today surrounded by countless digital gadgets and navigate through cyberspace as if it were the most natural thing in the world. This digital cast of being, however, comes from a long history of philosophical and mathematical thinking in which the Western will to productive power over movement has attained its consummation. This study traces the digital dissolution of beings from the Pythagoreans, Plato and Aristotle's ontology via Cartesian mathematical science through to our digitized economy and telecommunications. With an appendix reinterpreting quantum mechanical indeterminacy phenomenologically.
