Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Proxy Condition is a landmark work that challenges the architecture of digital life itself. With clarity and force, it reveals how we have come to inhabit a world designed around proxies; stand-ins for attention, presence, emotion, and even identity. These proxies interact, multiply, accelerate, and begin to shape who we think we are, sometimes obscuring truth. We live in two places at once. One is physical. The other is constructed by the systems we interact with.Drawing from philosophy, cognitive science, design theory, social psychology, epistemology, and system logic, this book names the invisible structures that govern our time and behavior. The book traces the evolution of presence as a system requirement, no longer defined by proximity or intention. What shapes reality now is influence, and what is influenced shapes reality.The Proxy Condition gives readers language for what they've been feeling but couldn't name, establishing a realistic framework for navigating it with integrity.This is the foundational text for a new paradigm in human-digital relations. The Proxy Condition is both analysis and artifact, responsible and fearless in its approach.'Tate explains the proxy condition as a state in which 'the self is constituted across two incompatible systems (digital and physical, algorithmic and embodied) that do not share a unified frame for recognition. Readers will come to fully appreciate how 'Digital behaviors are not isolated, singular actions.' The author effectively introduces terms like recursivity to help navigate the finer points, and visual aids illustrate how the world has gotten to its present state. The book provides a nuanced lens through which readers can consider the ubiquity of the modern internet.A well-paced investigation into the lasting effects of digital culture.'- Kirkus Reviews'A sharp, cerebral examination of how digital culture reshapes identity and presence.' - Publishers Weekly/BookLife'An original, iconoclastic, seminal, groundbreaking and meticulous study' - John Taylor, Midwest Book ReviewsFeatured in the June 2026 issue of Library BookwatchPart of the permanent collection of the Illinois State Library.…
