For billions of users, digital technology appears prosaic: a convenient innovation, despite concerns about data privacy and the impact of artificial intelligence on employment. Yet this complacency fails to grasp the magnitude of the transformation we are undergoing. Western societies have experienced major revolutions in communication—from oral to written, from manuscript to print, and now from print to digital. Each of these innovations has marked a turning point in human history: in the 3rd millennium BCE, writing enabled the formation of the state; in the 1st millennium BCE, alphabets empowered logos; the printing press individualized the relationship between the self and Truth. Digital technology belongs to this lineage. It seems to give meaning, offering life, hope, and a sense of unity. It produces unifying effects across data, networks, systems, languages, and sciences. It establishes a new regime of truth, one derived from numbers. Its characteristics elevate it to the status of a new divinity. But paradoxically, this universality does not establish a stable, uniform transcendence for all; rather, it generates chronic transformation.
