Description
The coming 'civilization' by Daniel Cohen explores how the digital revolution is transforming human life and society. This new economy and sensibility are creating a radical revaluation of our world, with institutions giving way to monetized virtual contact. As we navigate this changing landscape, it's essential to consider both the benefits and drawbacks of the digital age. The author argues that while social media can facilitate connection and debate, they also perpetuate hate-filled speech and addictive behaviours. However, Cohen also suggests that the digital revolution offers an opportunity for a new way of living, one that prioritises listening, respect, and equality. By examining the intersection of technology and human relationships, this book invites readers to think critically about the future we want to create. Will we seize the opportunities presented by the digital age, or will we succumb to its darker aspects?
