Welcome!

“The Illusion of Volition” is maintained and populated by Sarah T. Roberts, Assistant Professor, Department of Information Studies at UCLA. This site is primarily focused, as is its author, on discussions and dissections of notions of (digital) information in society, and its attendant sociocultural, economic and ethical implications. Please visit the "About" page for more information. The postings here are my own, and do not represent the positions or endorsements of any other organization or body. Welcome!
