While industrial modernity saw society as a machinery to be designed according to detailed blueprints, digital modernity views society as organic and alive, to be herded and nudged through digital infrastructures, AI, and algorithms. Seeing Like a Platform explores the history, meaning, and far-reaching consequences of this epistemological shift.As the mechanic way of seeing before it, the digital erases and leaves out. Seeing Like a Platform examines the contentious rise of complexity thinking across different fields and cases, from social movements to Wikipedia, from digital platforms to city planning, and from social science to the media.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
