You are a four-dimensional human.
Each of us exists in three-dimensional physical space. But as a constellation of everyday digital phenomena rewires our lives, we are increasingly coaxed from the containment of our predigital selves into a wonderful and eerie fourth dimension, a world of ceaseless communication, instant information, and global connection.
Our portals to this new world have been wedged open, and the silhouette of a figure is slowly taking shape. But what does it feel like to be four-dimensional? How do digital technologies influence the rhythms of our thoughts, the style and tilt of our consciousness? What new sensitivities and sensibilities are emerging with our exposure to the delights, sorrows, and anxieties of a networked world? And how do we live in public with these recoded private lives?
Laurence Scott - hailed as a “New Generation Thinker” by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the BBC - shows how this four-dimensional life is dramatically changing us by redefining our social lives and extending the limits of our presence in the world. Blending tech philosophy with insights on everything from Seinfeld to the fall of Gaddafi, Scott stands with a rising generation of social critics hoping to understand our new reality. His virtuosic debut is a revelatory and original exploration of life in the digital age.

Isn’t time the fourth dimension? Predigital & established?
Thx, MuftQuitab.

From the introduction: “Over a century ago, as Queen Victoria transformed into King Edward, ‘the fourth dimension’ became an everyday concept. It was postulated in many ways: as ether, as the unconscious, as a duration in time, or as time itself. But most popularly it was a space into which one might travel, a world that could be reached if only the right conduit or portal could be found. The prospect of discovering this dimension was so appetising that it belonged to everyone. It was the intellectual and creative province of mathematicians, physicists, chemists, psychologists, philosophers and theosophers, psychic mediums, sculptors, painters and writers.”
So perhaps Fourth Dimension 2.0
