Interpersonal Divide in the Age of the Machine challenges us to scrutinize data science and take inventory of ourselves through the lens of the human condition, from which media and technology offer escape. Through a rich telling of media history and deep discussion of media and civic issues from an applied perspective, Bugeja illustrates how each medium changes the message, resulting in cultural upheaval that also causes deep rifts in personal and
professional relationships. This new recasting of the Interpersonal Divide addresses the impact on society of machines in the age of big data and artificial intelligence and urges us to remain focused on the importance
of consciousness, conscience, and community.

Michael J. Bugeja is an ethicist and author of twenty-three books, including Living Ethics Across Media Platforms and Vanishing Act: The Erosion of Online Footnotes and Implications for Scholarship in the Digital Age. Living Ethics, along with the first edition of Interpersonal Divide, won the prestigious Clifford G. Christians Award for research in media ethics. Dr. Bugeja directed the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication at Iowa State University of Science and Technology.
