Living and Thinking in the Postdigital World is the result of a series of conferences organized at the Collegium Artes Liberales, University of Warsaw, as a part of the project “Technology and Socialization”. Its main aim is to interrogate the different ways in which technology – especially digital technology – shapes today’s social and political landscape in a theoretical and practical way.
 
The book is divided into three parts. The first one concentrates on theoretical elaborations of our current situation – testing if theories of technology that we have inherited from earlier ages are suited to our current historical moment. The second part of the book is devoted to describing novel experiences allowed by digital technologies and the intertwinement between our “online” and “offline” lives. The chapters gathered in the final part endeavor a look into the future, problematizing the consequences of currently observable trends and trying to understand the workings behind various visions of what is to come.
 
Two incontrovertible assets of the book are its interdisciplinary character and the subject that it addresses. It is not only remarkably timely, but also crucial for the changes undergone by the scientific disciplines it presents and our world as a whole. (…) One of the book’s strengths is the extremely wide exposition of the dynamic multiplicity and heterogeneity of the theories which endeavor to grasp the specificity of the technological and diagnose the changes that it brings to science and our understanding of subjectivity. The book can be read as an instructive introduction to theories of the postdigital world (…).
