To enact the book's central theme of automation and human agency, the author designed a Bot trained on her book to support dialogue with the content and facilitate discussions.

Algorithms and Automation: Governance over Rituals, Machines, and Prototypes, from Sundial to Blockchain is a critical examination of the history and impact of automation on society. It provides thought-provoking perspectives on the history of automation and its relationship with power, emphasizing the importance of considering the social context in which automation is developed and used. The book argues that automation has always been a political and social force that shapes our lives and futures, rather than a neutral tool. The author provides a genealogy of automation, tracing its development from ancient rituals to modern-day prototypes, and highlights the challenges posed by new technologies such as blockchain and artificial intelligence. The volume argues that we need more democratic and accountable governance over technological innovation to ensure that it respects human rights, political pluralism, legitimacy, and other values we hold dear in our institutions and political processes.
An engaging read on a fascinating topic, this book will be indispensable for scholars, students, and researchers of science and technology studies, digital humanities, politics and governance, public policy, social policy, system design and automation, and history and philosophy of science and technology. It will also be of interest to readers interested in the interactions of the sciences and the social sciences and humanities.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
為了實現本書的核心主題——自動化與人類行動,作者設計了一個基於她的書籍訓練的機器人,以支持與內容的對話並促進討論。如果您想比較作者所說的內容與機器人所「詮釋」或生成的內容,請前往這裡 https://www.anonette.net/denisaBot/
《算法與自動化:從日晷到區塊鏈的儀式、機器與原型的治理》是對自動化歷史及其對社會影響的批判性檢視。它提供了對自動化歷史及其與權力關係的深思熟慮的觀點,強調考慮自動化發展和使用的社會背景的重要性。該書主張,自動化一直是一種塑造我們生活和未來的政治與社會力量,而非中立的工具。作者提供了自動化的系譜,追溯其從古代儀式到現代原型的發展,並突顯了如區塊鏈和人工智慧等新技術所帶來的挑戰。本書主張,我們需要對技術創新進行更具民主性和問責性的治理,以確保其尊重人權、政治多元性、合法性以及我們在機構和政治過程中所珍視的其他價值。
這本書在一個引人入勝的主題上提供了精彩的閱讀,對於科學與技術研究、數位人文學、政治與治理、公共政策、社會政策、系統設計與自動化,以及科學與技術的歷史與哲學的學者、學生和研究者來說,將是不可或缺的資源。對於對科學與社會科學及人文學科之間的互動感興趣的讀者來說,這本書也將引起他們的興趣。
