Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - We live in a world increasingly shaped by algorithms, platforms, and AI systems-yet the concepts we rely on to understand them were built for another age. The result is a growing divide between the sciences and the humanities, between information and meaning, between the technologies we create and our ability to think clearly about them.In The Footprint and the Algorithm, Michael Filimowicz argues that this fragmentation is neither inevitable nor irreversible. Across nine original essays, he develops a powerful new framework for understanding how signs, media, technology, and knowledge interact. Moving effortlessly between philosophy, semiotics, cognitive science, media theory, cybernetics, and artificial intelligence, he introduces a series of original concepts that illuminate some of the defining questions of our time: - What makes an AI-generated image fundamentally different from a photograph - How do algorithms quietly shape what we perceive, know, and believe - Why has communication between academic disciplines become so difficult - What would it take to rebuild a more integrated understanding of knowledge Rather than offering another critique of technology, The Footprint and the Algorithm provides something rarer: new conceptual tools for thinking about it. Rigorous yet accessible, ambitious without dogmatism, it invites readers to cross disciplinary boundaries and see familiar problems from entirely new perspectives.For philosophers, technologists, designers, scholars, students, and intellectually curious readers alike, this is an invitation to rethink not only our technologies, but the ways we make meaning in an increasingly algorithmic world. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What if artificial intelligence isn't replacing the writer-but revealing an entirely new way of thinking Large language models have sparked endless debates about plagiarism, authenticity, and the future of creativity. The Negative Difference Machine argues that these questions barely scratch the surface. The real revolution is not that AI can write. It is that it transforms writing into the exploration of an immense landscape of possibilities-a space where imagination itself becomes navigable.Drawing on semiotics, cognitive science, literary theory, philosophy, and decades of creative practice, Michael Filimowicz presents a bold new framework for understanding AI-assisted writing. Rather than treating AI as either a threat or a miracle, he argues that the greatest AI writers become auteurs: directors of a powerful creative apparatus whose ultimate responsibility remains profoundly human. Taste. Judgment. Vision. These are the qualities no machine can provide.Combining provocative essays with original fiction and world-building experiments-including material from the ongoing AI-assisted novel series Agent X and the Edge of Reality-this book demonstrates not only how to collaborate with AI, but why doing so changes the nature of authorship itself.Whether you are a novelist, poet, screenwriter, scholar, or simply fascinated by the future of creativity, The Negative Difference Machine offers a compelling vision of writing after the arrival of artificial intelligence.…
