Publisher's Description
Social media, shopping experiences, and mapping programs might not seem like they have much in common, but they are all built on neurodigital media. What is neurodigital media? It lives at the intersection of the Californian Ideology, the digital computing revolution, network ecosystems, the nudge, and a naturalistic view of the person. The Californian Ideology holds individuals should be reshaped, naturalism says individuals may be reshaped, and digital computing provides the tools, through network ecosystems theory and the nudge, that can reshape individuals. This book explores the history and impact of neurodigital media in the lives of everyday users.

“Writing with technological savvy, theological sensitivity, and commendable clarity, Russ White exposes how the invisible hand of digital technology subverts humanity and alters how reality is viewed. A must-read for living successfully beyond the technological forces at work in the fourth Industrial Revolution.”
“Unintended Dystopia is a book that is not for those who wish to remain blind about the realities of the world we live in. It is a thorough and insightful book that removes all doubt to the reader about the thin line we walk when we engage in social media and Internet activities. I am so thankful that Russ would choose to go against the grain of cheerleaders and unveil the raw realities we need to face to improve our society.”
