商品簡介
Interpersonal Divide in the Age of the Machine challenges us to scrutinize data science and take inventory of ourselves through the lens of the human condition, from which media and technology offer escape. Through a rich telling of media history and deep discussion of media and civic issues from an applied perspective, Bugeja illustrates how each medium changes the message, resulting in cultural upheaval that also causes deep rifts in personal and professional relationships. This new recasting of the Interpersonal Divide addresses the impact on society of machines in the age of big data and artificial intelligence and urges us to remain focused on the importance of consciousness, conscience, and community.
