数字极权主义：算法与社会关注我们的计算体制对民主价值观构成的重要挑战：监督调查自由、个人思想自治的风险、人类创造力的新自由主义管理，以及随着社交媒体推动的阴谋论崛起，批判性思维的崩溃。
数字网络允许政府和企业实体进行粒度和普遍性的监控。这造成了权力不对称，每个公民每天的“数据消耗”都可以被强大的机构参与者用来操纵和控制目的。本书通过涵盖政府对图书馆活动的监督、认知增强辩论、艺术学校日益增长的商业导向，以及网络媒体中阴谋论的扩散，探讨了我们与自由社会相关的基本人类价值观中的关键侵蚀。
来自不同背景的学者和学生，以及政策制定者、记者和普通读者将发现一种多学科的方法来解决极权主义倾向的问题，包括传播学、修辞学、图书馆学、艺术和新媒体的研究。
Digital Totalitarianism: Algorithms and Society
Digital Totalitarianism: Algorithms and Society focuses on important challenges to democratic values posed by our computational regimes: policing the freedom of inquiry, risks to the personal autonomy of thought, NeoLiberal management of human creativity, and the collapse of critical thinking with the social media fueled rise of conspiranoia.
Digital networks allow for a granularity and pervasiveness of surveillance by government and corporate entities. This creates power asymmetries where each citizen’s daily ‘data exhaust’ can be used for manipulative and controlling ends by powerful institutional actors. This volume explores key erosions in our fundamental human values associated with free societies by covering government surveillance of library-based activities, cognitive enhancement debates, the increasing business orientation of art schools, and the proliferation of conspiracy theories in network media.
Scholars and students from many backgrounds, as well as policy makers, journalists and the general reading public will find a multidisciplinary approach to questions of totalitarian tendencies encompassing research from Communication, Rhetoric, Library Sciences, Art and New Media.
