The following anthology delivers sound analysis to the theoretical classification of the
current societal phenomenon - between innovative world changing and yet disruptive technology
as well as societal and cultural transformation. Lifelogging digital self-tracking and the
real-time chronicling of man's lifetime is not only a relevant societal topic in the world of
research and academic science these days but can also be found in literature cultural pages
of the written press and the theatre. The spectrum of Lifelogging ranges from sleep mood sex
and work logging to Thing and Deathlogging. This leads to several questions: How does one live
in a data society? Is measured man automatically also better man? And if so what is the cost?
Do new categories of reality or principles of social classification develop as a result of
Lifelogging? How does the social view on things change? The authors in this anthology provide
insightful answers to these pressing questions.
