The Future of You: How Technology is Transforming Identity

Description:

Building on the foundational theories of Marshall McLuhan we demonstrate the ways digital media utterly transforms personal identity, even without us noticing. Taking the concepts contained in the recently published book The Future of You, we illustrate the ways in which humans are now transformed from one holistic physical self into a 'self of many selves', distributed across the internet, and dependent upon corporate platforms. Our recent primary research will bring to life two futures: one where personal identity thrives and another where it dies - the existential choice is yours!
