Future Politics: Living Together in a World Transformed by Tech de Jamie Susskind

Future Politics: Living Together in a World Transformed by Tech

Autor Jamie Susskind
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 mar 2020

Nivel de studiu: masterat și referință profesională în științe politice și etica tehnologiei. Notăm cu interes modul în care Jamie Susskind reușește să recalibreze teoria politică clasică pentru a răspunde provocărilor secolului XXI. Dacă în secolul trecut dezbaterea centrală viza echilibrul dintre stat și piață, Future Politics argumentează că noua frontieră a puterii este definită de algoritmi, inteligență artificială și sisteme de tip blockchain. Putem afirma că autorul nu se limitează la o descriere tehnică, ci investighează modul în care cei care controlează codul sursă ajung să dicteze limitele libertății individuale și normele justiției sociale.

Merită menționat că această lucrare reprezintă fundamentul teoretic pe care Susskind îl dezvoltă ulterior în Digital Republic. În timp ce opera sa mai recentă se concentrează pe soluții de guvernare, Future Politics analizează în profunzime conceptele de proprietate și democrație într-un mediu transformat digital. Comparabil cu The People Vs Tech de Jamie Bartlett în ceea ce privește urgența mesajului despre erodarea democrației, volumul de față se distinge printr-o rigoare academică sporită și o perspectivă filosofică mai amplă, similară cu abordarea din Political Theory of the Digital Age de Mathias Risse. Ediția de față, publicată de OUP OXFORD, oferă un aparat critic solid, fiind esențială pentru înțelegerea modului în care autoritatea politică este transferată către entități non-umane sau către corporații tehnologice transnaționale.

Descriere

Politics in the Twentieth Century was dominated by a single question: how much of our collective life should be determined by the state, and what should be left to the market and civil society?

Now the debate is different: to what extent should our lives be directed and controlled by powerful digital systems - and on what terms?

Digital technologies - from artificial intelligence to blockchain, from robotics to virtual reality - are transforming the way we live together. Those who control the most powerful technologies are increasingly able to control the rest of us. As time goes on, these powerful entities - usually big tech firms and the state - will set the limits of our liberty, decreeing what may be done and what is forbidden. Their algorithms will determine vital questions of social justice. In their hands, democracy will flourish or decay.

A landmark work of political theory, Future Politics challenges readers to rethink what it means to be free or equal, what it means to have power or property, and what it means for a political system to be just or democratic. In a time of rapid and relentless changes, it is a book about how we can - and must - regain control.

Winner of the Estoril Global Issues Distinguished Book Prize.

Recenzii

Future Politics' is intelligently written and utterly compelling in its treatment of a subject too often ignored by today's politicians and academics.
He steers a course to the future that is as convincing as it is shocking.
An impressive feat of intellectual organization ... To have written it all down so lucidly, engagingly and succinctly is a formidable achievement.
A work of clarity and effortless genius which is a must for anybody seeking to understand the impact of modern technology on our body politic now and in the future.
[Susskind] has tremendous talent and the book is very readable.
The tone of this book is as refreshing as the originality of insight. Susskind contends that "that there are causes for both optimism and pessimism, but what the future requires above all is vigilance.
Future Politics is a riveting book that sparkles with great ideas ... It is chock full of facts and the book combines knowledge of politics and technology in a unique and fascinating way.
Superb and necessary book.
Future Politics should be essential reading for those with the will to anticipate the future challenges facing defence and society.
Brilliant ... detailed research, colourful examples, and a pacy, upbeat style ... Future Politics will remain relevant for several years. All elected officials should read it as a matter of urgency.
Future Politics challenges readers to rethink what it means to be free or equal, what it means to have power or property, what it means for a political system to be just or democratic, and proposes ways in which we can - and must - regain control. This is no less than a call for a fundamental change in the way we think about politics.
...rigorous and thoughtful book ...
Brilliant and ground-breaking ... It is essential reading for anyone who wants to get to grips with the profound and far-reaching impacts of digital technology on politics.
Original and thought-provoking, this ground-breaking book challenges us to develop new policies for new times.
Few understand politics. Even fewer understand technology. Susskind is that rare soul who understands both - and more importantly, how the latter will change the former. Whether correct or not - and I believe he is correct - there is no better glimpse into our shared future than this book.
This book crackles with ideas, sparking new thoughts with every page. And it is superbly organised, too. It's difficult to help people understand the past, but to help understand the future is a real achievement. Terrific.
From Arendt to artificial intelligence, from Machiavelli to machine learning, Susskind seamlessly weaves modern technology with classic theory to present a tour de force introduction to the future-explaining with erudition and humor the powerful digital systems that will govern our lives.
Only an elite can control the power of computation, dispersed in space, integrated in the cloud, and enabled to operate on ever bigger data. What are the implications for freedom, democracy, and justice? Jamie Susskind offers a pathbreaking exploration of the challenge that these issues pose for our political thinking and practice. It's a must-read.
