Description

Explore the changing nature of identity in the digital age with The Terminal Self: Everyday Life in Hypermodern Times. Published by Routledge as part of the Interactionist Currents series, this book examines how Western societies navigate an era defined by constant digital interaction. As people spend more time engaging with terminals and others through these devices, a new kind of social and psychological orientation emerges. This work investigates the concept of the 'terminal self,' a nexus of orientations that adapt to terminal logic. By looking at how the self develops through interactions with both humans and non-humans, the text provides a deep look into the mandatory digital engagements of the twenty-first century. The book traces the profile of this new self by examining five unique 'default settings' that characterize our modern relationship with technology. It is an essential read for those interested in how digital tools shape the fundamental ways we exist in a hypermodern world.
