The digital revolution promises a brave new world where individuals communities and organizations can at last take control of the future anticipating designing and commanding the future possibly even with mathematical exactitude. Yet paradoxically algorithms have unleashed widespread fears and forebodings about the impact of digital technologies. Whether it's worries about unemployment distress about social media's harmful effects on teenagers or the fear of intrusive digital surveillance we live in an age of turbo - charged anxiety where the prophecies of algorithms are increasingly enmeshed with fundamental disruption and anxieties about the future.
