Description

Nihilism and Technology explores how our values shape our technological world. Nolen Gertz examines the relationship between nihilism and technology, using Nietzsche's philosophy to investigate how we design and use technologies. Gertz reveals how our technological practices, from social media to wearable devices, reflect our underlying values and worldview. By examining these practices, he shows how nihilism has become intertwined with technology, leading to a world of data-driven activity, pleasure economics, and herd networking. This book offers a thought-provoking analysis of the impact of technology on our lives, encouraging readers to think critically about the role of values in shaping our technological world.
