Shapiro investigates the social impact of Virtual/Augmented Reality, AI, social media platforms, robots, and the Brain-Computer Interface. Publisher Description How do digital media technologies affect society and our lives? Through the cultural theory hypotheses of hyper-modernism, hyperreality, and posthumanism, Alan N. Shapiro investigates the social impact of Virtual/Augmented Reality, AI, social media platforms, robots, and the Brain-Computer Interface. His examination of concepts of Jean Baudrillard and Katherine Hayles, as well as films such as Blade Runner 2049, Ghost in the Shell, Ex Machina, and the TV series Black Mirror, suggests that the boundary between science fiction narratives and the "real world" has become indistinct. Science fictional thinking should be advanced as a principal mode of knowledge for grasping the world and digitalization. Author Biography Alan N. Shapiro teaches media theory at Hochschule fÜr KÜnste Bremen and future design research at Hochschule Luzern. He has also been visiting professor of transdisciplinary design and heterotopia at the Folkwang Universität der KÜnste, Essen, and worked for many years as a software developer. He is originally from New York City and lives in Frankfurt. Details ISBN 3837672425 ISBN-13 9783837672428 Title Decoding Digital Culture with Science Fiction Author Alan N.
