Inhaltsangabe

The world is a better place because of digital and computer technology. However, this doesn’t mean our world will stay that way. While we recognize the many great improvements to the quality of life that digital technology has enabled, the truth is, we are being conditioned to roll over and accept huge failings in privacy, safety, choice, and community all in an effort to stay on a falsely deterministic path of technological inevitability. A new wave of thinking is growing, in part as a reaction to the unintended consequences of this push to all-things-digital. This reaction we call "Cyber Skepticism," and it's a movement that is long overdue. In this book, we begin to explore some of the ever-increasing consequences of our digital lives in relation to philosophy, history, current events, social constructs, and simply stated, what it means to be a human living in the midst of machines.
