The False Promises of the Digital Revolution examines what currently goes largely unnoticed because of the many important uses of digital technologies. While many people interpret digital technologies as accelerating the global rate of progress, C. A. Bowers focuses attention on how they reinforce the deep and ecologically problematic cultural assumptions of the West: the myth of progress, the substitution of data for different cultural traditions of wisdom, the connections between print and abstract thinking, the myth of individual autonomy, the conduit view of language that hides how words (metaphors) reproduce earlier misconceptions, and a Social Darwinian justification for colonizing other cultures that is now leading to armed resistance – which, in turn, strengthens the ties between corporations, the military, and the computer science industry. The book also investigates how to understand the cultural non-neutrality of digital technologies; how print and the emphasis on data undermine awareness of the tacit information pathways between cultural and natural ecologies; and how to identify educational reforms that will contribute to a more informed public about the uses of digital technologies.

Leaves of Change takes the reader on a hypnotic journey of the heart. As a forbidden love affair becomes a story of survival, we experience a myriad of human emotions. From the first rhythmic story of physical desire we are transported to a world of love and tenderness. As threads unwind, a tide of raw emotions soaks the soul. Becoming one with the author, we drown in the pain of loss and rejoice as the soul awakens. Culminating in a heartfelt finale of acceptance and peace, Leaves of Change is a poetry collection whose invitation inside the heart is irresistible.
