30 FOR TOK: IB DIGITAL SOCIETY: THE THINKING BEHIND SUBJECT

The technologies that connect us also shape what we can know, who we trust, and what we believe. Digital Society raises epistemological questions that affect everyone, and they have never been more urgent. 30 For 30 TOK: IB Digital Society is the fifth book in the 30 For 30 TOK series, which pairs thirty IB diploma subjects with thirty searching questions about the nature of the knowledge it produces. This volume focuses on the IB Digital Society course, asking questions about how digital technologies have transformed not just communication but the very conditions under which knowledge is produced, shared, and distorted. From algorithmic bias to the epistemology of surveillance, from filter bubbles to deepfakes and AI-generated content, the thirty questions in this book press on the assumptions we make about information, truth, and trust in a digital world. Sample responses model what careful, philosophically grounded thinking about technology and knowledge looks like in practice. Designed for IB Digital Society students, teachers, TOK educators, and anyone trying to think clearly in an information environment that has been engineered, often deliberately, to make that difficult.
