With constant swipes and clicks, we place our trust in invisible formulas that define what we see and believe. Yet many of these formulas operate under assumptions we never chose or even noticed. Such is the subtlety of algorithmic bias and information bubbles, creating closed loops of digital truth that can give an illusion of certainty. This book reveals how those unseen processes shape our opinions, influence our decisions, and mould our identity. Grounded in thoughtful insights into data determinism and technology ethics, it illuminates why questioning the narratives we consume is more crucial than ever. From immersive applications of ai in media to the shaping of collective beliefs through tech and ideology, readers will discover how to develop a balanced relationship with technology. By gaining new strategies for managing belief formation, staying alert to illusions of neutrality, and reaffirming human judgement, we can reclaim our ability to decide what truly matters. Empower yourself to navigate the digital landscape with greater clarity and courage.
