The Bare Face of Advanced Scientific Technology and Digital Barbarism

Reflecting on the Future of Human-Tech Ensembles Beyond the Cult of Technology

The global pandemic of COVID-19 has further accelerated the speed of technology. With social distancing measures in place, people increasingly rely on electronic methods of communication and relationship-building. How can we combat the technological fetishism arising in the process? This book is different from most other books on the future, which only spread groundless optimism about technology. Post Digital : Topics and Horizons seeks to recover the solidarity of the weak harmed by cutting-edge technologies, and to restore old and neglected ones, thereby breaking away from the celebration and worship of new digital technologies. It envisions a future that promotes a symbiosis between humans and non-humans.
