Nihilism and Technology

Investigating how human values mediate the design and use of new technologies, the updated edition of Nolen Gertz’s Nihilism and Technology explores the ramifications of artificial intelligence. Gertz searches for current meanings of ＂truth＂ and ＂progress＂ in the age of AI, and what those concepts even mean for our modern digital-driven lives.

Nolen Gertz is assistant professor of applied philosophy at the University of Twente, and a senior researcher at the 4TU Centre for Ethics and Technology. He is the author of The Philosophy of War and Exile. His work has appeared in The Atlantic, The Washington Post, Forbes, and on ABC Australia.
