Social media and the digital revolution have fundamentally changed the meaning of “social” and “work.” Social work, like all other professions, will undergo dramatic changes as apps and algorithms overtake human operations. The failure of social sciences in general and social work, in particular, warrants thoughtful innovations that ensure sustainable services.
The author believes altruism is professionally unattainable until social work is completely re-founded. The Future of Social Work discusses seven new algorithms of social practice that challenge the existing model of social work education and offers a unique perspective for the radical transformation of the entire system. The book warns against academic complacence and shows how this radical transformation is necessary to prevent inevitable alienation, avarice, and anger in a techno-scientific world.
