Description

Radical Technologies: The Design of Everyday Life by Adam Greenfield is a thought-provoking exploration of the impact of new technologies on our lives. As we increasingly rely on devices and services to navigate everyday existence, it's essential to consider the consequences of these innovations. Greenfield examines the role of radical technologies in shaping our world, from augmented reality interfaces and virtual assistants to 3D printing and blockchain systems. He reveals how these technologies are not only transforming our daily lives but also influencing the economy, politics, and even what it means to be human. This timely guide clarifies the scale and nature of the crisis we now confront and offers ways to reclaim our stake in the future. By understanding the inner workings of these technologies, Greenfield helps us navigate the challenges they present as individuals and societies.
