Инатът на Гутенберг или за първите стъпки на меритокрацията (Gutenberg's Stubbornness or the First Steps of Meritocracy)

  • 1. ROR icon Sofia University

Description

The report argues that in the age of the internet and artificial intelligence, political power will be a meritocracy and its strategic training institute will be the old-fashioned library. The analysis focuses on the following issues: on knowledge as the basic social substance of the "post-information" society; on the new elite with power over knowledge – the meritocracy; on the library institution as a university for elitist intellectual behavior; on the community of old-fashioned readers as a micro-community of candidates for power - an alternative to the computerized masses.
