The Digital Age
18th December 2019
It has never been more important to understand the challenges posed by our increasingly digital existences. As we go about our lives, we are pursued by powerful corporations that harvest our information and sell it to the highest bidder. This allows businesses, political parties, and even hostile governments to target specific audiences with tailored messages . . . and then track their reactions! Has this rise in micro-targeting become a threat to the very fabric of society and democracy? This bookshelf explores how the fusion of politics, data harvesting and digital advertising will define and shape our future and whether we still have the power to decide what kind of world we want to live in.
