<p><b>Why Hype Studies?</b></p>
<p>Technology hype is a powerful force that
influences everything from investment decisions to
military strategy, from labor practices to
democratic processes. Understanding how hype
operates is crucial for anyone trying to make
sense of our tech-driven world –specially in a
context of the virulent AI hype, post-truth
regimes and geopolitical turmoil.</p>
<p>This series brings together diverse perspectives
from scholars, activists, and researchers across
multiple disciplines to interrogate hype from
every angle: its role in finance, warfare,
democracy, regulation, labor exploitation, and
more.</p>
<p>With best regards and stay tuned</p>
