In\u003ci\u003e Our Minds Under Siege\u003c\/i\u003e, the specialist of digital culture writes about the \"technologies of influence\" and their social and political implications. In a world saturated with information, social media, artificial intelligence, and strategies of cognitive influence, our capacity for thinking clearly and understanding reality are themselves under threat. It is no longer only about disinformation and fake news: these technologies capture our attention, appropriate our data, analyze and exploit our emotions, and challenge our autonomy of thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiussani decrypts how AI and other algorithmic technologies work and what their impacts are. He explains the nature of the relationship that is developing between us and these machines and the economic and power structures in which they exist. Finally, he offers guidance on how to resist this technological takeover and how to become competent users of AI without being used by it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruno Giussani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3039423398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783039423392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scheidegger and Spiess\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Bruno Giussani","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49002391273727,"sku":"9783039423392","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/our-minds-under-siege-bruno-giussani-9783039423392","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
