Infocracia by Byung-Chul Han
Digitalisierung und die Krise der Demokratie
A philosophical critique of how the digital circulation of data and attention has become a new form of political power: algorithmic visibility, metric-driven evaluation, and datafication supplant institutions and deliberative public life, producing governance by nudges, personalization, and surveillance rather than by law or debate. The work argues that the attention economy and constant transparency erode privacy, fragment solidarity, encourage performative conformity, and undermine genuine plurality and democratic agency even as they promise efficiency, participation, and control.
