Description: "Although the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) promises more progress and development as solutions to the multiple crises the world is in, it is grounded in technologies that are designed to have power over us, extract our data and that seek to define who we are as a species. Digital Capitalism and its Limits questions the dangerous technotopian imaginary shaping this digital techno shift and examines its inherent risks and power dynamics." -- Provided by publisher.
