The Future of the Self : An Interdisciplinary Approach to Personhood and Identity in the Digital Age Paperback / softback
by Jay Friedenberg
Paperback / softback
Description
We live in the digital age where our sense of self and identity has moved beyond the body to encompass hardware and software.
Cyborgs, online representations in social media, avatars, and virtual reality extend our notion of what it means to be human.
This book looks at the progression of self from the biological to the technological using a multidisciplinary approach.
It examines the notion of personhood from philosophical, psychological, neuroscience, robotics, and artificial intelligence perspectives, showing how the interface between bodies, brains, and technology can give rise to new forms of human identity.
Jay Friedenberg presents the content in an organized and easy-to-understand fashion to facilitate learning.
A gifted researcher, author, and classroom teacher, he is one of the most influential voices in the field of artificial psychology.
