Software as Hermeneutics

Mehr zum Buch

The book presents a novel perspective on digital technology, particularly software, by likening it to a text that requires hermeneutic interpretation. It examines the disconnect between lived experience and code, arguing that code underlies digital experiences while remaining largely invisible. The author explores software as an interpretive act rather than just an algorithm, connects it to the history of writing, and integrates historical and theoretical insights through a Kantian lens. Ultimately, it posits that software embodies a form of digital reflective judgment.
