Democracy in the Age of Algorithms: Rethinking Political Agency

In an era where algorithms increasingly shape our political landscape, this thought-provoking exploration delves into the profound impact of technology on democratic processes. The book challenges readers to rethink the concept of political agency in a world dominated by data-driven decision-making and automated systems. It examines how algorithms influence public opinion, voter behavior, and policy formulation, often in ways that are opaque and unaccountable. Through a rich analysis of case studies, expert interviews, and contemporary examples, the author highlights the urgent need for transparency and ethical considerations in the use of technology within democracies. This compelling narrative not only raises critical questions about the future of political engagement but also offers insights into how individuals and communities can reclaim their agency in the digital age. A must-read for anyone concerned about the intersection of technology and democracy, this book is a clarion call for a more equitable and participatory political future.
