Abstract

The book is concerned with key aspects on identity of the human. Principally, the author motivates to tackle this aporia standing on the perspective of digital social science at once. This chapter concentrates on how digital social science should devote to considering the nature of identity of the human-being and what the human-being is in terms of both advanced technologies and social sciences.
