Fractal Agency: Fetishization of Algorithms and the Quest For Transcendence
This research discusses critical topics related to algorithms and transhumanism to explicate and theorize the entanglement between big data, marketable transcendence, and fractal agency. Such discussion helps identify future research topics that highlight more specific characteristics of algorithms, such as opacity, messiness, inscrutability, hyper-legitimacy, hyper-functionality, and equal distribution of accountability.
