Big Data is everywhere. It shapes our lives in more ways than we
know and understand. This comprehensive introduction unravels the
complex terabytes that will continue to shape our lives in ways
imagined and unimagined. Drawing on case studies like Amazon,
Facebook, the FIFA World Cup and the Aadhaar scheme, this book
looks at how Big Data is changing the way we behave, consume and
respond to situations in the digital age. It looks at how Big Data
has the potential to transform disaster management and healthcare,
as well as prove to be authoritarian and exploitative in the wrong
hands. The latest offering from the authors of Artificial
Intelligence: Evolution, Ethics and Public Policy, this accessibly
written volume is essential for the researcher in science and
technology studies, media and culture studies, public policy and
digital humanities, as well as being a beacon for the general
reader to make sense of the digital age.

What will the future be? A dystopian landscape controlled by
machines or a brave new world full of possibilities? Perhaps the
answer lies with Artificial Intelligence (AI)-a phenomenon much
beyond technology that has, continues to, and will shape lives in
ways we do not understand yet. This book traces the evolution of AI
in contemporary history. It analyses how AI is primarily being
driven by "capital" as the only "factor of production" and its
consequences for the global political economy. It further explores
the dystopian prospect of mass unemployment by AI and takes up the
ethical aspects of AI and its possible use in undermining natural
and fundamental rights. A tract for the times, this volume will be
a major intervention in an area that is heavily debated but rarely
understood. It will be essential reading for researchers and
students of digital humanities, politics, economics, science and
technology studies, physics, and computer science. It will also be
key reading for policy makers, cyber experts and bureaucrats.
