About this book
Algorithmic Saga: Understanding Media, Culture, and Transformation in the AI Age
We're no longer just living with technology-we're living through it. Driverless cars ferry passengers, drones deliver packages, robots serve guests in hotels, and even our most intimate choices-like finding a life partner-are now influenced by artificial intelligence. Welcome to the Algorithmic Saga-a world where media, machines, and algorithms don't just reflect our lives, they rewrite them.
In this timely and eye-opening book, Dr. Muhammad Atique explores how technology has shifted from being a backdrop to becoming the architect of our values, choices, and realities.
Inside these pages, you'll discover:
The hidden grip of algorithms-how they shape the news you consume, the relationships you form, and the choices you make.Digital culture in action-from meme evolution and digital art to podcasts, gaming, and the fusion of technology with fashion.Psychological traps of the digital age-FOMO, echo chambers, information overload, and "delusionships" that challenge our intimacy.Practical strategies for balance-including digital fasting, detox, and mindful engagement to reclaim control in a distracted world.The future of AI-from the rise of agentic AI to the looming possibility of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and projects like AI-2027 that could reshape humanity itself.
Organized into three sections-Digital Media, Digital Cultures, and Digital Transformation-Algorithmic Saga takes you on a journey through the forces shaping our present and our future. Along the way, Dr. Atique unpacks how governments, healthcare systems, and industries are being redefined by AI, raising urgent questions about ethics, power, and human autonomy.
More than critique, this book is a guide for thriving in the AI age-helping readers cultivate awareness, responsibility, and intentionality in a world where technology defines who we are and what we become.
If you've ever wondered how algorithms influence your daily life, how digital culture reshapes society, or what future AI holds for humanity, Algorithmic Saga is your essential roadmap.
Timely, insightful, and accessible-this book is for anyone who wants to navigate the algorithmic age with clarity, balance, and purpose.
