Scripted Culture
Digitalization and the Cultural Public Sphere

Softcover, 288 pages

PDF, 288 pages

Long-standing values from the Enlightenment values and new realities, the citizen and the consumer, rational systems of humans and machines alike are both separate in inextricable from one another in this picture.
