Today we live in an environment covered in sensors and digital devices that capture data and record interactions, forcing us to adapted to the functioning of interfaces, database structures and predefined rules. This pressure to adapt gives rise to a countervailing need for strategies that help us adopt these tools for our own use

With their potential to resolve personal and planetary problems, recent developments in AI give new life to computationalism and enthrall politicians and strategists who easily get intoxicated by the prospect of transforming the world. 

I would argue that the profound importance of digital technology is entirely different than the apocalyptic reduction of everything to calculation, under the banner of computationalism, transhumanism or "post humanism”.
