Abstract

The chapter describes the central moments of the rise of the algorithmic society, identifying the places from which it started, the involved actors and the most representative innovations. It explores the main digital transformations from a social, economic and cultural point of view in a complex and interconnected multidisciplinary perspective, following the economy of culture and local development approaches. It considers the changes in the attribution of value systems, knowledge dissemination processes and legitimation. Finally, the chapter analyses the changes in businesses, products, innovative processes and forms of work. In this scenario, the so-called ‘media document capitalism’ emerges, a kind of post-liquid capitalism in which the documents registered online by users/prosumers become commodities to exchange on the web.
