Algorithmic Governance

This book analyses the changes to the regulation of everyday life that have taken place as a result of datafication, the ever-growing analytical, predictive, and structuring role of algorithms, and the prominence of the platform economy. This new form of regulation ? algorithmic governance ? ranges from nudging individuals towards predefined outcomes to outright structuration of behaviour through digital architecture. The author reveals the strength and pervasiveness of algorithmic politics through a comparison with the main traditional form of regulation: law. These changes are subsequently demonstrated to reflect a broader shift away from anthropocentric accounts of the world. In doing so, the book adopts a posthumanist framework which focuses on deep embeddedness and interactions between humans, the natural environment, technology, and code.Politics and Law in the Post-Human EraBy: Ignas KalpokasPublisher:Palgrave PivotPrint ISBN: 9783030319212, 3030319210other ISBN: 9783030319229, 3030319229Copyright year: 2019SKU: 9783030319229?
