Simona Chiodo

Predicted Humans (eBook, ePUB)

Emerging Technologies and the Burden of Sensemaking

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book reflects on seminal texts in western culture to argue that predicting our future renders much of our existence the automated effect of various causes, which, in turn, helps to alleviate the existential burden of autonomously making sense of our lives in a more competitive, demanding, accelerated society.
