A Humanely Digital Society – From the Finnish Changemakers to You

The great Finnish story of humane digitalisation

A Humanely Digital Society offers a uniquely broad perspective on digitalisation as told by Finnish changemakers.

“Digitalisation touches each of us, and it will do so even more in the future. This book excellently and concretely illustrates the importance of human-centred and humane digitalisation. My warm recommendation for developing understanding and personal thinking.” – Jarno Limnell, Member of the Parliament of Finland

Humane digitalisation belongs to everyone

What should everyone know about digitalisation right now and on the journey to the future? How does digitalisation shape life, work, and society? What makes digitalisation humane?

Finland is one of the leading countries in digitalisation, and the biggest change has only just begun. Now, services are being developed using new methods and by focusing on people. At the same time, digitalisation raises discussions about equality, inequality, and security.

Gofore is the publisher of the book.
