About the Book

This visionary book delves into the world-shaping abilities of modern technology, outlining the potential future transformations that it may impose. By drawing from a range of scholarly insights, Dionysios S. Demetis and Ian O. Angell explore how technology not only influences our social, economic, political, biological and physical realities, but how it can also construct completely new ones. Demetis and Angell present a novel analysis of technology that culminates in their proposal of a field theory. The authors describe how technology gains sovereignty over ontology in a higher dimensional space of interference. The Technological Construction of Reality is a ground-breaking journey that deconstructs the enormous power of modern technology in its creation of new realities. This book is an essential resource for academics and students focusing on information systems, technology management and the broader impact of technology in business and society. It is also of great benefit to professionals and policy makers seeking to understand the sheer magnitude of technology’s influence on their industries and the deeper interference of technology in the world around us.

Review :
‘This is a well-researched, wide-ranging, and theoretically grounded book taking the reader through some of the most pertinent aspects on digital technology's relation to reality. The book offers a refreshing perspective on how we are reshaping society, our relations, and ourselves.’ ‘Demetis and Angell have done it again. After thoroughly enjoying their discussions of knowledge discovery and theory construction in their previous book, their new book The Technological Construction of Reality offers a fresh exploration of the role of technology in constructing various dimensions of our reality. The argument that “Technology constructs reality-folds around itself, and these not only shape our reality through ambiguity but, in some cases, technology will construct a new reality altogether” is a compelling foundation for their interesting deliberations. Throughout the main chapters, Demetis and Angell take their readers on a deep journey of how technological advances construct both current and novel folds in our financial, political, biological, physical, and social realities. The authors’ introduction of a field theory of technology has the potential to make us reconsider technology in a higher-dimensional space of interference and rethink the contemporary relationship between technology and humanity. The Technological Construction of Reality is an essential reading for anyone keen to grasp the profound changes that technology can weave into our very fabric of existence.’ ‘This book masterfully navigates the multidimensional landscape of technology's impact on reality. Through insightful analysis and thought-provoking perspectives, it illuminates profound implications and potential for shaping our collective existence. The book offers invaluable insights into the dynamic interplay between technology and society for anyone interested in understanding how they shape each other.’ ‘In this book, Demetis and Angell conducted an inquisition into the mutuality relationship between the reality we inhabit and the technology we use and develop. From sparks to quantum computers, technological development has played a fundamental role in how we understand and inhabit this world and discern the possibilities it contains. We create new dimensions of reality through the construction of human systems, such as the creation of money. However, money too has evolved exponentially with the advancements in digital payments and virtual currencies, which again changes the way we understand our economic existence. Overall, the book explores our ontological existence through the lenses of our self and society. I hope readers will enjoy the book as much as I did.’
