The Proxy Condition: : How Systems Reshaped Attention, Identity, and What It Means to Be Present - Paperback
About this item
by Harrison Rose Tate (Author)
The Proxy Condition is a landmark work that challenges the architecture of digital life itself. With clarity and force, it reveals how we have come to inhabit a world designed around proxies; stand-ins for attention, presence, emotion, and even identity. These proxies interact, multiply, accelerate, and begin to shape who we think we are, sometimes obscuring truth. We live in two places at once. One is physical. The other is constructed by the systems we interact with.
Drawing from philosophy, cognitive science, design theory, social psychology, epistemology, and system logic, this book names the invisible structures that govern our time and behavior. The book traces the evolution of presence as a system requirement, no longer defined by proximity or intention. What shapes reality now is influence, and what is influenced shapes reality.
The Proxy Condition gives readers language for what they've been feeling but couldn't name, establishing a realistic framework for navigating it with integrity.
This is the foundational text for a new paradigm in human-digital relations. The Proxy Condition is both analysis and artifact, responsible and fearless in its approach.
