The Technological Construction of Reality Dionysios S. Demetis, Hull University Business School and Ian O. Angell, London School of Economics, UK ‘In this book, Demetis and Angell conducted an inquisition into the mutuality relationship between the reality we inhabit and the technology we use and develop. From sparks to quantum computers, technological development has played a fundamental role in how we understand and inhabit this world and discern the possibilities it contains. We create new dimensions of reality through the construction of human systems, such as the creation of money. However, money too has evolved exponentially with the advancements in digital payments and virtual currencies, which again changes the way we understand our economic existence. Overall, the book explores our ontological existence through the lenses of our self and society. I hope readers will enjoy the book as much as I did.’ – Michael Mainelli, Lord Mayor of the City of London, UK 2024 236 pp Hardback 978 1 83910 118 2 £95.00 / $135.00 eBook • Elgaronline What Have Populists Done for Us?
