Previously a rock critic, bike messenger and psychological operations specialist in the US Army, Adam Greenfield spent over a decade working in the design and development of networked digital information technologies, as lead information architect for the Tokyo office of internet services consultancy Razorfish, Independent User-Experience Designer and Head of Design Direction for Service and User-Interface Design at Nokia headquarters in Helsinki.
Selected in 2013 as Senior Urban Fellow at the LSE Cities centre of the London School of Economics, he has taught in the Urban Design program of the Bartlett, University College London, and in New York University’s Interactive Telecommunications Program. His books include Everyware: The Dawning Age of Ubiquitous Computing, Urban Computing and Its Discontents, and the bestselling Against the Smart City.
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.

在Facebook上吐槽發惡評,或發帖,或參與綫上投票,會讓人覺得自己在做一件能扭轉結局的事——盡管實際的乾預力可能微乎其微。這種“發揮自身作用”的意識在很大程度上可能是種幻覺,這種幻覺會讓我們沉迷其中無法自拔,從而有利於社交媒體平颱。 但不可否認,這一作用力量十分強大,甚至那些從不發錶評論或帖子的人,也會受其影響。新聞內容持續更新,評論、笑點和解析不斷推送過來,你可以根據自己的興趣點開網頁,這本身就像是一種參與新聞的方式,完全不像被動接受CNN或BBC裏全天候不斷重復的頭條新聞。 然而,你或許已經注意到,人與新聞之間的這種關係轉變並不能給我們帶來更大的幸福感或成就感。你的思想始終有一部分處於新聞世界,暴露在整個世界的謊言和痛苦中,你會不斷發齣抱怨,即使是你個人無法改變的重大事件。
