Description
Being Human in Digital Cities by Myria Georgiou explores how life in today's cities is changing our understanding of what it means to be human. This book investigates the new configuration of social order taking shape in digital cities, where technology and power intersect.
The author examines the contradictory claims and struggles for the future of digital cities, revealing the dynamic workings of technology and power from a transnational and comparative perspective. By investigating the role of extractive datafication, compulsive connectivity, and regulatory AI technologies, Georgiou sheds light on alternative pathways to autonomy and dignity in digitally mediated human progress.
This book enriches understandings of digital urbanism, critical data studies, and critical humanist studies, offering a nuanced analysis of the complex relationships between technology, power, and humanity in modern cities.
