Abstract
Our intention is not just to look at the role that cephalopods—primar- ily octopuses and squids—play in contemporary media (with an especial emphasis on film). It is also our intention to look at the contemporary media-drenched world from the perspective of/as if it were a cephalo- podic universe, since this may help us to understand media not just from a human perspective, but from the perspective of (primarily but not exclu- sively digital) media themselves. Our aim being to offer up ideas regard- ing how media themselves think (and act, and invite us to interact, and therefore think).
