The book explores how artificial intelligence, digital media, and algorithms are reshaping modern life-transforming how we communicate, form relationships, and define cultural values. It examines both the promise and peril of living in an era where technology not only supports but also shapes human experience.
Through case studies, Illustrations for each chapter, real-world examples, and critical reflections, the book invites readers to engage deeply with contemporary issues such as digital dependency, algorithmic influence, online culture, and ethical AI.
Organized into three sections-Digital Media, Digital Cultures, and Digital Transformation-Algorithmic Saga takes readers on a thought-provoking journey through the forces defining our present and shaping our collective future. I truly believe this book will make a valuable addition to your bookshelf.
