Abstracts

PL

The authors discuss Yuval Noah Harari’s concept of dataism, which is part of a wider stream of debate on the future of civilization. Depending on the analytical perspective and the type of narration, dataism has been characterized as a kind of faith, an ideology, a worldview, or a set of (conscious) attitudes for which information is a kind of arche. The popularizer of the concept, the anthropologist Yuval Harari, argues that acts of dataism are a useful praxis of the twenty-first century, consisting in the deliberate – but also partly involuntary – entrusting of one’s life affairs (and not only) to algorithms that process data from popular digital devices such as a smartphone. Among the many significant effects thors point to changes in the spheres of work and capital which to produce a profound political and moral revolution.
