Recent advances in ICT have given rise to new socially disruptive technologies: Ambient Intelligence (AmI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), marking a major technological change which may lead to a drastic transformation of the technological ecosystem, as well as to a major alteration in technology use and daily living. This book is the first systematic study on how AmI and IoT applications link up with other developments in various spheres of the European society, including culture, politics, policy, ethics and ecological philosophy. The book is written for anyone interested in learning the sociology, philosophy and history of AmI and IoT technologies or to those who would like to better understand some of the ethical, environmental, social and political dilemmas to what has been labeled the technologies of the 21st century.
