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.
