A field manual to the technologies that are transforming our lives
Everywhere we turn, a startling new device promises to transfigure our lives. But at what cost? In this urgent and revelatory excavation of our Information Age, leading technology thinker Adam Greenfield forces us to reconsider our relationship with the networked objects, services and spaces that define us. It is time to re-evaluate the Silicon Valley consensus determining the future.
We already depend on the smartphone to navigate every aspect of our existence. We’re told that innovations—from augmented-reality interfaces and virtual assistants to autonomous delivery drones and self-driving cars—will make life easier, more convenient and more productive. 3D printing promises unprecedented control over the form and distribution of matter, while the blockchain stands to revolutionize everything from the recording and exchange of value to the way we organize the mundane realities of the day to day. And, all the while, fiendishly complex algorithms are operating quietly in the background, reshaping the economy, transforming the fundamental terms of our politics and even redefining what it means to be human.
Having successfully colonized everyday life, these radical technologies are now conditioning the choices available to us in the years to come. How do they work? What challenges do they present to us, as individuals and societies? Who benefits from their adoption? In answering these questions, Greenfield’s timely guide clarifies the scale and nature of the crisis we now confront —and offers ways to reclaim our stake in the future.
Adam是个持有技术悲观主义的left winger,对一些新科技,如AI, Machine Learning, VR, AR, 3D-Print, IoT持较强烈的批判态度。不是特别容易读,但一旦get到他的隐喻和讽刺,真忍不住拍着大腿直呼妙啊妙啊。读这本书可能需要一定的西马理论、政经知识的储备和了解。
评分第8章讲的被算法控制的社会,配合Psycho Pass服用效果更佳
评分读多了其实每章在讲的核心要义就都是相似的了。问题是道理我都听懂了,然后呢?面对不可逆的趋势,个体人能做的究竟有多少。
