Anthropocene studies

We have investigated the possible similarities between biological systems and social systems facing shortage of resources, suggesting that the digital revolution might have something to do with the Anthropocene. More comprehensive approaches that rely on digital systems to control society and nudge citizens to adapt their behavior have been developed in Asia. We analyse in particular the social scoring system in China, and Society 5.0 in Japan [6]. An investigation of the world of images and photography in the time of algorithms was conducted in [2].
