Manfred Spitzer, Digital Discomfort

Review by Fabian Hoffmanns

The book “Digital Discomfort” by Prof. Dr. Dr. Manfred Spitzer explains the problems and concerns of digitalisation in 32 surprisingly short chapters. The chapters, each with a meaningful and sometimes provocative title, focus on a supposed problem area of the digital world. The author often uses situations from everyday life to illustrate this. The book undoubtedly scores points through the combination of a simple presentation of possible problems and the imparting of technical and medical background knowledge. While some of the problems addressed are indisputable, others seem exaggerated.
