Reviews
To avoid dystopias you need to know what it takes to create them-how to engineer people to conform to harmful norms and participate in practices that erode freedom and perpetuate injustice. Hyper-Exposure: Conformity and Control on Social Media presents a powerful philosophical warning for resisting the detrimental programmed behavior encouraged on social media and afforded by so-called smart devices. -Evan Selinger, Prof. Philosophy Rochester Institute of Technology -- Evan Selinger Jeremy Weissman's chilling account of a future in which digital technology is fully enmeshed in the fabric of society and our human selves is no science fantasy. It is lucidly argued with enormous clarity and imagination. Warnings of this gripping book are informed by classical parables and centuries of philosophical thinking about human aspirations and ethical values combined with a unique grasp of on-the-ground realities of digital life. -- Helen Nissenbaum, professor of information science, Cornell Tech
