Digital Totalitarianism: Algorithms and Society explores the challenges to democratic values posed by our computational regimes, such as policing the freedom of inquiry, risks to personal autonomy, NeoLiberal management of human creativity, and the collapse of critical thinking with the rise of conspiranoia. It examines government surveillance of library-based activities, cognitive enhancement debates, the increasing business orientation of art schools, and the proliferation of conspiracy theories in network media.

Digital Totalitarianism: Algorithms and Society delves into critical challenges to democratic values posed by our computational regimes. These challenges encompass policing the freedom of inquiry, risks to personal autonomy of thought, NeoLiberal management of human creativity, and the collapse of critical thinking fueled by the rise of conspiranoia in the social media era.
Digital networks enable a level of surveillance that is both granular and pervasive, allowing government and corporate entities to monitor individuals on a daily basis. This power imbalance creates opportunities for powerful institutional actors to manipulate and control citizens through the use of their data exhaust.
This volume explores significant erosion of fundamental human values associated with free societies. It examines government surveillance of library-based activities, cognitive enhancement debates, the increasing business orientation of art schools, and the proliferation of conspiracy theories in network media.
Scholars and students from diverse backgrounds, including Communication, Rhetoric, Library Sciences, Art, and New Media, will find a multidisciplinary approach to questions of totalitarian tendencies in this volume. It offers valuable insights for policy makers, journalists, and the general reading public interested in understanding the complex dynamics of our digital age.
