Between 2009 and 2017 the network used satellite technology to connect hospitals across Africa with hospitals in India, providing medical education and delivering health care for patients at a distance. Duclos shows how, by accelerating the flow of expertise across continents, the network also created connected enclaves, at once commercial, infrastructural, and medical. \u003ci\u003eLife at a Distance\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of a project that, Duclos suggests, acted as a medium for speculation about the future--about medical markets, the nation, South-South relations, and a new world order beyond Western-centric scripts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVincent Duclos is Associate Professor at the Université du Québec à Montréal.
