Informed by the latest theoretical developments in studies of the
social impacts of digital technology, Smart-Tech Society provides
an empirically grounded and conceptually informed analysis of the
impacts and paradoxes of smart-technology. While making life more
convenient, smart-tech has also been associated with a loss of
privacy and control over decision-making autonomy. Mark Whitehead
and William Collier provide a critical analysis of the lived
experience of smart-technology, presenting stories of varied social
engagements with digital platforms and devices. Chapters explore
the myriad contexts in and through which smart-tech insinuates
itself within everyday life, the benefits it brings, and the
processes through which it is being resisted. Detailed case studies
explore the impacts of smart-technology across a broad range of
fields including personal health, work, social life, urban
management, and politics. Presenting new empirical evidence and
analytical perspectives on the relationships between humans and
smart-tech, this book will be of interest to academics and students
in the fields of sociology, political science, human geography, and
technology studies.
