For example, the "death algorithm " is programmed into a driverless car to decide, in an emergency, whether to plow into a group of pedestrians, a mother and child, or a brick wall. Can such life-and-death decisions no longer be left to the individual human? In these incisive essays, Simanowski asks us to consider what it means to be living in a time when the president of the United States declares the mainstream media to be an enemy of the people-while Facebook transforms the people into the enemy of mainstream media. Simanowski describes smartphone zombies (or "smombies") who remove themselves from the physical world to the parallel universe of social media networks; calls on Adorno to help parse Trump's tweeting; considers transmedia cannibalism, as written text is transformed into a postliterate object; compares the economic and social effects of the sharing economy to a sixteen-wheeler running over a plastic bottle on the road; and explains why philosophy mat become the most important element in the automotive and technology industries.0Translated by Jefferson Chase. 606 $aInternet$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aTelecommunication$xPhilosophy 606 $aTelematics$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aDigital media$xSocial aspects 610 $aPHILOSOPHY / General 610 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Media Studies 615 0$aInternet$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aTelecommunication$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aTelematics$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aDigital media$xSocial aspects. 676 $a174/.9004 700 $aSimanowski$b Roberto$01093408 702 $aChase$b Jefferson S. 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910309942603321 996 $aThe death algorithm and other digital dilemmas$93392221 997 $aUNINA
