If there ever was the right book at the right moment, it is Human Flourishing in the Age of Digital Capitalism. Its editor Andrius Bielskis did much more than assembling texts that fit the topic; instead of getting lost in the generalities about the influence of artificial intelligence on our lives, the texts approach from different aspects the same topic: how did and how will digital capitalism affect all levels of being human, from social freedoms to the most intimate experiences. Digital capitalism is not only a new phase of capitalism, it also announces a new phase of human subjectivity.
