This insightful book examines the impact of digital technologies on our relationship with time and existence, especially amid climate change. Digital Technologies, Temporality, and the Politics of Co-Existence offers a conceptual framework for understanding our current reality.

In Digital Technologies, Temporality, and the Politics of Co-Existence, the author delves into the intricate relationship between our digital lives and the concept of time. By employing process philosophy and narrative theory, the book explores how digital technologies influence our existence and perceptions of time, particularly in the context of pressing global issues such as climate change and advancements in artificial intelligence. The author raises critical questions about our hurried digital existence and its impact on our connection to ourselves, others, and the natural world.

The narrative highlights the pervasive nature of digital social media and AI, suggesting that these technologies may contribute to a sense of alienation from both nature and our own identities. As we navigate a world filled with digital distractions and fears surrounding climate change, the book challenges readers to consider how we can cultivate a meaningful life amidst these complexities. What does it mean to truly coexist in today's fast-paced, technology-driven society?

Through the lens of the “Anthropochrone,” the author proposes a conceptual framework that encourages readers to reflect on their relationship with time and existence. By engaging with contemporary philosophy of technology and media theory, Digital Technologies, Temporality, and the Politics of Co-Existence offers valuable insights into how we can redefine our existence and foster a sense of shared time in a rapidly changing world.
