“Liberty2.0” (Kobundo) has been published.
The book "Liberty2.0'' edited by Keigo Komamura, the principal researcher, has been published.
IoB-S research participants also contributed multiple articles to the book.
Content introduction (from Kobundo website)
"What is freedom? No matter how much our behavior is nudged, no matter how much our privacy is controlled by a platform, or even when our brains are connected to a computer, would there still be "freedom" there? Will implementing a basic income make people "free"? Is the relationship between "freedom" and democracy rock solid? Using technology that could change the nature of society itself, utilizing examples of its application, and various contemporary issues, we will look into the future of the concept of "freedom," which seems to be under turmoil, and how it can be upgraded. ”
The published papers by IoB-S research participants are as follows.
