Description
Simulation and Its Discontents by Sherry Turkle The technologies of simulation and visualization have profoundly changed the way we interact with the world. Over the past twenty years, these tools have become an integral part of our daily lives, particularly in fields such as science, engineering, and design. Sherry Turkle examines the impact of simulation on our way of seeing the world, revealing a new sensibility that prioritizes immersion and digital experience. In this book, Turkle explores the benefits and drawbacks of simulation, from its ability to create unimaginable buildings and models of molecules, to its potential to erode traditional skills and knowledge. Through four in-depth investigations of contemporary simulation culture, Turkle sheds light on the anxieties and concerns surrounding the rise of simulation, and the implications for our understanding of the world and ourselves.
