- More about Patterns: Theory of the Digital Society
Armin Nassehi's new theory of digital society challenges the assumption that digital technologies have suddenly revolutionized everything, arguing that they help societies deal with and reduce complexity by using coded numbers to process information. Modern societies had a digital structure long before computer technologies were developed, and digital technologies were able to penetrate so many areas of society so quickly due to a pre-existing sensitivity that prepared modern societies for digital development. This book lays the foundations for a theory of the digital society that will be of value to everyone interested in the growing presence of digital technologies in our lives.

Digital technologies have revolutionized our relationships, work, and leisure, and even our democracies in just a few years. Armin Nassehi's new theory of digital society challenges this assumption by asking: what problem does digitalization solve? He argues that digitalization helps societies deal with and reduce complexity by using coded numbers to process information. Modern societies had a digital structure long before computer technologies were developed, with statistical pattern recognition technologies being used in functionally differentiated societies to recognize, monitor, and control forms of human behavior. Digital technologies were so successful in such a short period of time and were able to penetrate so many areas of society so quickly precisely because of a pre-existing sensitivity that prepared modern societies for digital development. This highly original book lays the foundations for a theory of the digital society that will be of value to everyone interested in the growing presence of digital technologies in our lives.
