Böcker av Andrew McStay

Combining established theory with original analysis, this book provides a clear account of the social benefits and drawbacks of new media trends and technologies such as emoji, wearables and chatbots and calls for a more critical approach to the rollout of emotional AI in public and private spheres.

Providing a comprehensive overview of both the theory and reality of privacy and the media in the 21st Century, Privacy and the Media is not a polemic on privacy as 'good' or 'bad', but a call to assess the detail and the potential implications of contemporary media technologies and practices.

Suitable for theoreticians, empirical analysts, students, those contributing to policy and anyone interested in the steering philosophical ideas that inform their own orientation and thinking about privacy, this book draws on an array of philosophers to offer a refreshingly novel approach to privacy matters.
