Individualism, choice architecture, digital communication: From disciplinary to control society (and beyond)

Abstract

The abstract discusses the transition from disciplinary societies to societies of control in the digital age, focusing on the concepts of biopower and surveillance. It explores how digital platforms exploit user data for commercial and political purposes through surveillance capitalism. The role of cognitive sciences in shaping decision-making processes and the societal shift towards individualism are also examined. Finally, the abstract suggests the need for new frameworks to address ethical challenges in the digital environment.
