Contents

To date much of Wills's own original and published work "has concentrated on literary theory, especially the work of Derrida, film theory, comparative literature" with an emphasis on how and where we think through (and with) technology and politics. [3] As noted, Wills's writing "rethinks not only our nature before all technology but also what we understand to be technology." [3]

Wills began teaching at University at Albany, SUNY in 1998 and moved to Brown University in 2013. He has degrees from the University of Auckland, and received his doctorate from the Université de Paris III-Sorbonne Nouvelle. [3]
