From Amazon to Tinder, from Google to Deliveroo, there is no facet of human life which the digital revolution has not streamlined and dematerialised. Its objective was to reduce the cost of physical interactions by forgoing face-to-face interactions, a direct result of the free-market shock of the 1980s, which sought to seamlessly expand the marketplace in every possible dimension. Today, we can be algorithmically entertained, educated, cared for and courted in a way which was impossible in the old industrial society, where institutions structured the social world. Today, these institutions have been replaced by monetised virtual contact. As with the industrial revolution of the past, the digital revolution is creating a new economy and a new sensibility, bringing about a radical revaluation of society and its representations. While obsessed with the search for an efficient management of human relations, the new digital capitalism gives rise to an irrational and impulsive Homo numericus prone to an array of addictive behaviours. Far from producing a new agora, social media produce a radicalization of public debate in which hate-filled speech directed against adversaries becomes the norm. The good news is that these outcomes are not inevitable. Technologies have not taken control of our lives. The digital revolution also offers an alternative path: one that leads to a world in which every word deserves to be listened to, without a transcendent truth hanging over it. Are we able to seize the new opportunities opened up by the digital revolution without succumbing to its dark side?

« L'auteur de La Prospérité du vice et d'autres best-sellers décrypte avec une joyeuse férocité cette prétendue « civilisation » qui bouleverse nos vies. L'amour ? Désormais, c'est Tinder ! Le bureau ? En télétravail ! Un nouveau job ? Ce sont les algorithmes qui recrutent ! Les partis politiques ? C'est sur Twitter ! Au centre de ce nouveau monde : Homo numericus, un être submergé de contradictions. Il veut tout contrôler, mais il est lui-même irrationnel et impulsif, poussé à des comportements addictifs par ces mêmes algorithmes qui surveillent les moindres détails de son existence. Faut-il désespérer ? Pas nécessairement. La révolution numérique est née des attentes d'une société qui rêvait de connaissances infinies, qui voulait que toute parole soit écoutée. Sans vérité révélée, affranchie des hiérarchies du passé. Trouver la voie qui permette d'accomplir cette utopie : telle est aussi l'ambition de ce livre. »-- Page 4 de la couverture.

«El ser humano está viviendo por encima de sus posibilidades psicológicas y ecológicas. Necesitamos recuperar urgentemente un horizonte común».
Una nueva economía, nuevas sensibilidades e ideologías están reestructurando la sociedad de arriba a abajo. La revolución digital plantea un tremendo desafío social y psicológico. La desmaterialización y la gestión «eficiente» de las relaciones humanas, el aislamiento social y el control algorítmico de nuestras emociones, deseos o miedos está creando un homo numericus más irracional e impulsivo.
En este conciso ensayo, el economista Daniel Cohen diagnostica los riesgos y las posibilidades, las luces y las sombras de este tiempo profundamente ambivalente. Sin catastrofismo y sin moralizar, pero con sentido crítico, Cohen explora nuestras posibilidades para resistir un sistema que promueve la adicción compulsiva y la vigilancia extrema. La buena noticia es que la tecnología todavía no controla por completo nuestras vidas. Aún tenemos margen para imaginar un futuro basado en valores compartidos.

WikiPlaza presents a practical and theoretical research in the field of the participatory social construction of public space mediated by information and communication technologies. The work aims to condense the experiences of free software and hacker culture, and the social and independent media movements that emerged at the turn of the twenty-first century, in order to produce "ecosophic machines," that is, new technical, social and mental ecologies that offer an alternative to the dominant neoliberalism and promote and stimulate emancipation, autonomy and spaces of the commons. The subtitle Request For Comments is our small homage to the pioneers of the Internet, and points to the fact that the wikiplaza project is a work in progress, open to anybody who wants to question, use or change it, or to create new versions.

The West has long defined the pursuit of happiness in economic terms but now, in the wake of the 2007-8 financial crisis, it is time to think again about what constitutes our happiness. In this wide-ranging new book, the leading economist Daniel Cohen traces our current malaise back to the rise of homo economicus: for the last 200 years, the modern world has defined happiness in terms of material gain. Homo economicus has cast aside its rivals, homo ethicus and homo empathicus, and spread its neo-Darwinian logic far and wide. Yet, instead of bringing happiness, homo economicus traps human beings in a world devoid of any ideals. We are left feeling empty and dissatisfied. Today more and more people are beginning to recognize that competition and material gain are not the only things that matter in life. The central paradox of our era is that we look to the economy to give direction to our world at the very time when social needs are migrating toward sectors that are hard to place within the scope of market logic. Health, education, scientific research, and the world of the Internet form the heart of our post-industrial societies, but none of these belong to the traditional economic mould. While human creativity is higher than ever, homo economicus imposes himself like a sad prophet, a killjoy of the new age. Drawing on a rich array of examples, Cohen explores the new digital and genetic revolutions and examines the limitations of homo economicus in our rapidly transforming world. As human beings have an extraordinary ability to adapt, he argues that we need to rebalance the relation between competition and cooperation in favour of the latter. This thought-provoking analysis of our contemporary predicament will be of great value to anyone interested in the relationship between what happens in our economies and our personal happiness.
