Chapter Chapter 2 in Sharing and Collaborative Economy, 2022, pp 5-11 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Manifest concern exists about the future in this historical moment of transition from the late industrial society to information society—or the advanced technological society. This is the Fourth industrial revolution: The Internet is merging with AI, biotechnology, robotics, VR, etc., while the 24/7 use of digital devices becomes widespread—even in undeveloped or poor areas—and mainstream: an essential part of twenty-first-century global culture. Furthermore, this Fourth industrial revolution (still in progress) induces change and complexity as no other had done before: it has a more pervasive nature, is more extensive, and affects all levels of social life: from global markets to individual identity—to which must be added that it owns a still unknown transformative force/power.
