Digital Totalitarianism Algorithms and Society

Digital Totalitarianism: Algorithms and Society by Michael Filimowicz, published by Routledge in 2022, explores significant challenges to democratic values arising from contemporary computational systems. This 90-page book examines issues such as the policing of inquiry, threats to personal autonomy, and the impact of social media on critical thinking and creativity.

Readers will find an analysis of how these computational regimes influence society, particularly in relation to political ideologies and democracy. The book addresses the rise of conspiratorial thinking fueled by social media and the implications for individual thought and creativity. Through its focused examination, this edition contributes to the discourse on the intersection of technology and social science.
