Data and algorithms are changing our life. The awareness of the importance and pervasiveness of the digital revolution is the primary element from which to start a path of knowledge to grasp what is happening in the world of big data and digital innovation and to understand these impacts on our minds and relationships between people, traceability and the computability of behaviour of individuals and social organizations. This book analyses contemporary and future issues related to big data, algorithms, data analysis, artificial intelligence and the internet. It introduces and discusses relationships between digital technologies and power, the role of the pervasive algorithms in our life and the risk of technological alienation, the relationships between the use of big data, the privacy of citizens and the exercise of democracy, the techniques of artificial intelligence and their impact on the labour world, the Industry 4.0 at the time of the Internet of Things, social media, open data and public innovation. Each chapter raises a set of questions and answers to help the reader to know the critical issues in the enormous maze that the tools of info-communication have built around us.
