Digital hyperconnectivity is a defining feature of our contemporary era. The Silicon Valley vision of universal connectivity, the aspiration to connect every individual and object to everyone and everything else, everywhere, and at all times, is swiftly materializing. In this comprehensive and compelling book, Rogers Brubaker offers an original interpretive account of the profound and unsettling changes wrought by hyperconnectivity. He explores the transformations of the self, social relations, culture, economics, and politics, with a particular focus on underappreciated themes such as abundance, miniaturization, convenience, quantification, and discipline. Brubaker demonstrates how hyperconnectivity has prepared us for the pandemic and, in turn, how the pandemic has set the stage for an even more fully digitally mediated future. Throughout, Brubaker highlights the ambivalence of digital hyperconnectivity, which presents both exciting opportunities and significant threats to human freedom and well-being.
Hyperconnectivity and Its Discontents is a must-read for anyone interested in the intricate interplay of socio-technical forces that are reshaping our world.
