Informazioni su questo prodotto

Product Information

Dr. Cynthia K. West examines the intersection of information technologies, power, people, and bodies. Informed by more than ten years as a digerati in Silicon Valley and a political theorist, she offers a unique perspective on the direction in which information technologies are leading North American and global societies and cultures. Not only are information technologies bringing positive changes, technologies are embedded in what Michel Foucault calls power networks. Information technologies inherit influences from prior historical, cultural, and social events. West's research examines how information technologies are on a path of creating efficiency, productivity, profitability, surveillance, and control. Human-machine interface technologies are merging more and more with physical bodies. Surveillance technologies are supervising human activities in an increasingly panoptic fashion. Biometric technologies record data from the body's parts--hands, retinas, irises, and even body odor. But as West points out, we need to ask ourselves just how digital do we want to become? West calls for an ethics dialogue not only among digerati within the industry but also a dialogue which allows for public participation. Where do we want to lead the technology? Instead of continuing to embrace the goals of the technocratic paradigm, how can we use the technologies toward more humanistic goals? West concludes by offering six levels of active participation for positive change. This book will be of particular interest to scholars and students of contemporary science and technology as well as participants in information technology.

Reviews
"West's book is well written and brings to light important ethical questions concerning the onward march of information technology....Techno-Human Mesh makes a number of compelling points and presents information on new technological developments that is not widely known outside of the high-tech community. It could serve a very useful purpose as a stimulant to more widespread discussion and critical review of new technologies." Technical Services Quarterly, "West provides a wideranging analysis of the social impact of information technology. Many issues in the book relate directly to OPEIU members and anyone else who works with a computer....Dr. West documents the deadening value of control, efficiency and profit that permeate technology design. Her revelations about technologies such as wearable computers, implants and biometrics are followed by questions about ethics....A Silicon Valley insider, Dr. West examines the emerging class of"digerati" and how information technologies are on a path to create efficiency, productivity, productivity, surveillance and control." OPEIU Office and Professional Employees International Union, "This is a very valuable book for librarians and all others who want to better understand the broad impact of information technology on our society." College & Research News, "[r]ecommended,,,to serious researchers seeking absolutely everything available on the subject." Reference & User Services Quarterly
