Author Description

In a world increasingly shaped by algorithms, data, and digital interactions, Big Data, Communication and Politics - From Democracy to Cybercracy explores the deep transformation of contemporary society. José Norte Sosa-one of the leading specialists in Big Data-argues that we are witnessing the rise of a new form of power: Cybercracy. With clarity and precision, the author exposes how data collection and analysis are redefining democracy, politics, privacy, and even the way we think. Fake news, trolls, bots, and mass surveillance are no longer isolated phenomena, but elements of a system designed to influence our decisions and beliefs. Norte Sosa introduces the figure of the Homo connected, a digital human being who lives immersed in networks that shape opinions, markets, and political outcomes. This book is a powerful wake-up call to understand how digital reality is transforming not only our societies, but the very notion of freedom.
