An examination of the meaning of meaninglessness: why it matters that nothing matters.
Nolen Gertz es Profesor Asistente de Filosofía Aplicada cuyo trabajo profundiza en la compleja intersección del nihilismo y la tecnología. Sus indagaciones filosóficas exploran temas de filosofía social y política, fenomenología y existencialismo, a menudo basándose en problemas sociales contemporáneos como los robots militares y los drones humanitarios. La escritura de Gertz proporciona análisis críticos de nuestro mundo moderno, impulsando a los lectores a considerar las implicaciones éticas y existenciales más profundas de nuestros avances tecnológicos.



An examination of the meaning of meaninglessness: why it matters that nothing matters.
Arguing that the suffering of combatants is better understood through philosophy than psychology, as not trauma, but exile, this book investigates the experiences of torturers, UAV operators, cyberwarriors, and veterans to reveal not only the exile at the core of becoming a combatant, but the evasion from exile at the core of being a noncombatant.
Investigating how human values mediate the design and use of new technologies, the updated edition of Nolen Gertz's Nihilism and Technology explores the ramifications of artificial intelligence. Gertz searches for current meanings of "truth" and "progress" in the age of AI, and what those concepts even mean for our modern digital-driven lives.
