Creativity in the Digital Age

This is a book on the new Creative Technologies (CT) developed by the current digital age. Thus I want to trace here a concrete line about what CT are not, because for what they are, you should read the book. Firstly, CT are not “creativity support tools”, tools to make people more creative. Secondly, CT are not tools serving only the media industries. And thirdly, CT are not the “saint saviours” of capitalist economies. Even if CT can address these topics, in the long run, none of these matters are central to them. CT are mostly concerned with matters of self-realisation and self-discovery, their central concern are the human needs of expressivity. CT are technologies designed to open new dimensions and help human beings to flourish.

I hope this book serves well all people researching this new domain.
