This new collection of essays follows in the footsteps of the
successful volume Thinking Ahead - Essays on Big Data, Digital
Revolution, and Participatory Market Society, published at a time
when our societies were on a path to technological totalitarianism,
as exemplified by mass surveillance reported by Edward Snowden and
others. Meanwhile the threats have diversified and tech companies
have gathered enough data to create detailed profiles about almost
everyone living in the modern world - profiles that can predict our
behavior better than our friends, families, or even partners. This
is not only used to manipulate peoples' opinions and voting
behaviors, but more generally to influence consumer behavior at all
levels. It is becoming increasingly clear that we are rapidly
heading towards a cybernetic society, in which algorithms and
social bots aim to control both the societal dynamics and
individual behaviors.
