In an age where technology seems to touch every part of our lives, it is easy to assume that everything is changing. But is it? This but Not That offers a refreshing, philosophical investigation into the nature of digital transformation. Theodore R. Schatzki leads you on a journey to separate the hype from the reality, asking what is truly new about our digitalised society and what remains constant. This book helps you find clarity amidst the noise of the digital revolution, encouraging you to reflect on how technology influences our habits, our relationships, and our institutions. By looking closely at the structures of everyday life, you will learn to discern the difference between fundamental shifts and passing trends. If you are looking for a grounded, intelligent perspective on our modern world, this book provides the conceptual tools you need to interpret the world around you with wisdom and nuance. Discover how to think more clearly about the digital age and what it means for your own life, your community, and our collective future in an increasingly connected, yet often confusing, environment.
