The Philosophy Of Software by David Berry
Code and Mediation in the Digital Age
It treats software as a philosophical object rather than merely a technical instrument, arguing that code and algorithms shape how we know, act, and organize society. The book examines the historical emergence and conceptual foundations of software, exploring its metaphysical and epistemic status, its aesthetic and rhetorical dimensions, and the political and ethical consequences of algorithmic systems. Across archival history, theory and case studies it calls for a critical, reflective account of how software mediates perception, labor, governance and culture.
