Description
In this book, Ladislau Dowbor analyzes a set of changes in capitalism that suggests we are in transition to another system of production, leaving behind the so-called industrial era and developing something new, which the author calls the Age of Knowledge. However, new does not necessarily mean better: we may be living in a more connected and collaborative society, but old problems – such as environmental, social and economic ones – that are getting worse every day, in addition to individualized control over populations, through algorithms and artificial intelligence, weigh on the future of humanity. It is up to us to foresee the directions that this brave – or horrid – new world will take.
