We are inclined to assume that digital technologies have suddenly revolutionized everything including our relationships our forms of work and leisure and even our democracies in just a few years Armin Nassehi puts forward a new theory of digital society that turns this assumption on its head Rather than treating digital technologies as an independent causal force that is transforming social life he asks what problem does digitalization solve When we pose the question in this way we can see argues Nassehi that digitalization helps societies to deal with and reduce complexity by using coded numbers to process information We can also see that modern societies had a digital structure long before computer technologies were developed already in the nineteenth century for example statistical pattern recognition technologies were being used in functionally differentiated societies in order to recognize monitor and control forms of human behaviour Digital technologies were so successful in such a short period of time and were able to penetrate so many areas of society so quickly precisely because of a pre existing sensitivity that prepared modern societies for digital development This highly original book lays the foundations for a theory of the digital so

There is broad consensus on the need to shift to a new paradigm of lifestyles and economic development given the un sustainability of current patterns Given this research on consumer behavior is to play a crucial role in shedding light on the motives underpinning the adoption of responsible behaviors Stemming from a thorough discussion of existing approaches this book argues that the perspective of analysis has to be modified First acknowledging that a profile of the responsible consumer does not exist since all of us can be more or less sustainable and environment friendly the sustainability of an individual should not be considered as given being something dynamic that changes according to both subjective and contextual factors Moreover the book hypothesises that integrating dimensions and perspectives that have been so far overlooked by mainstream research will help deconstruct responsible behaviors adopting a flexible and holistic approach Relevant policy implications are discussed and empirical research on responsible behaviors is illustrated This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of consumer behavior sustainable consumption environmental psychology and environmental studies in general
