Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Digital Revolution: Loss of Self and Humanity explores how digital algorithms reshape our minds, lives, and society and offers a powerful call to reclaim time, attention, and humanity in an AI-driven world.Digital algorithms are reshaping our minds and lives, trading convenience for a loss of self, agency, connection, and humanity. The Digital Revolution, based on more than sixty years of research across multiple fieldsincluding psychology, technology, and philosophypursues a holistic approach to answering the question of how digitization affects us and our relation to the world around us.The Digital Revolution takes the reader on an unexpected journey, starting from the great tech revolutions of the early twentieth century and the invention of the first modern computers in the post-World War II era to inside our very own minds, exploring the neural mechanisms of addiction, altered states of consciousness, and age-old questions around perception versus reality.Today, despite unprecedented connectivity and access to information, we feel lonelier, adrift in an era that consumes our time and attention.
