      Homo numericus

      La ''civilisation'' qui vient

      3,7(11)Abgeben

      « L'auteur de La Prospérité du vice et d'autres best-sellers décrypte avec une joyeuse férocité cette prétendue « civilisation » qui bouleverse nos vies. L'amour ? Désormais, c'est Tinder ! Le bureau ? En télétravail ! Un nouveau job ? Ce sont les algorithmes qui recrutent ! Les partis politiques ? C'est sur Twitter ! Au centre de ce nouveau monde : Homo numericus, un être submergé de contradictions. Il veut tout contrôler, mais il est lui-même irrationnel et impulsif, poussé à des comportements addictifs par ces mêmes algorithmes qui surveillent les moindres détails de son existence. Faut-il désespérer ? Pas nécessairement. La révolution numérique est née des attentes d'une société qui rêvait de connaissances infinies, qui voulait que toute parole soit écoutée. Sans vérité révélée, affranchie des hiérarchies du passé. Trouver la voie qui permette d'accomplir cette utopie : telle est aussi l'ambition de ce livre.

      How populism is fueled by the demise of the industrial order and the emergence of a new digital society ruled by algorithms In the revolutionary excitement of the 1960s, young people around the world called for a radical shift away from the old industrial order, imagining a future of technological liberation and unfettered prosperity. Industrial society did collapse, and a digital economy has risen to take its place, yet many have been left feeling marginalized and deprived of the possibility of a better life. The Inglorious Years explores the many ways we have been let down by the rising tide of technology, showing how our new interconnectivity is not fulfilling its promise. In this revelatory book, economist Daniel Cohen describes how today's postindustrial society is transforming us all into sequences of data that can be manipulated by algorithms from anywhere on the planet. As yesterday's assembly line was replaced by working online, the leftist protests of the 1960s have given way to angry protests by the populist right. Cohen demonstrates how the digital economy creates the same mix of promises and disappointments as the old industrial order, and how it revives questions about society that are as relevant to us today as they were to the ancients. Brilliant and provocative, The Inglorious Years discusses what the new digital society holds in store for us, and reveals how can we once again regain control of our lives.

      Sozialer Ausgleich statt WachstumsdiktatAlle Anzeichen sind bereits da: Angst, Abschottung und Fremdenfeindlichkeit. Wenn wir keine Antworten auf die Frage finden, wie wir ohne Wirtschaftswachstum leben wollen, wird der Westen in Gewalt und Hoffnungslosigkeit versinken. Wir können nicht länger Sündenböcke suchen und unseren Wohlstand auf die Ärmsten der Gesellschaft gründen. Daniel Cohen, einer der führenden Ökonomen Europas und Experte für Staatsverschuldung, liefert eine brillante Analyse und wichtige Denkanstöße wie wir dem Wachstumsdilemma entkommen können.
