James Bridle is a writer, journalist, technologist, and visual artist. He writes for the Guardian, Observer, Wired, Frieze, the Atlantic, and many other publications.
As the world around us increases in technological complexity, our understanding of it diminishes. Underlying this trend is a single idea: the belief that our existence is understandable through computation, and more data is enough to help us build a better world.
In reality, we are lost in a sea of information, increasingly divided by fundamentalism, simplistic narratives, conspiracy theories, and post-factual politics. Meanwhile, those in power use our lack of understanding to further their own interests. Despite the apparent accessibility of information, we’re living in a new Dark Age.
From rogue financial systems to shopping algorithms, from artificial intelligence to state secrecy, we no longer understand how our world is governed or presented to us. The media is filled with unverifiable speculation, much of it generated by anonymous software, while companies dominate their employees through surveillance and the threat of automation.
In his brilliant new work, leading artist and writer James Bridle surveys the history of art, technology, and information systems, and reveals the dark clouds that gather over our dreams of the digital sublime.
現在的我,正在四十度左右,濕悶的天氣情況下,讀書、寫字。 正如《新黑暗時代》一書中,第三章的內容,幾十頁,討論的都是氣候,難道要寫上兩句對氣候的想法嗎? 錯瞭,略有點膚淺。 科技的進步,給我們的生活帶來瞭顯而易見的好處。然而,在實際中,不可避免的增加瞭復雜性,...
評分 評分 評分科技,已經融入瞭我們的生活,一邊享受著科技所帶來的便利,一邊我們在科技中陷入迷茫。 這種充滿著無限可能的機遇,讓我們的好奇心得到瞭極大的滿足。同時,處在風口浪尖的人類也在一步步探索前途未蔔的命運,像是初到一個迷宮一般茫然無緒。人類處在一個新的世界裏麵,這個世...
一本麵嚮大中的科普類書。
评分前幾章不知道在講什麼想要生拉硬拽的既視感(和技術有關的細節確實很多,很難統一),但是後麵幾章結閤現實以及對於技術原理的闡釋,給瞭一些讓人細思極恐的 scenario,值得一讀。期待引進。
评分i don't have a single clue what the author is talking about..
评分這本書有必要畫滿下劃綫和筆記。我覺得自己就像那些不知所措的有機化學學生,為書中的所有內容劃重點,因為這一切都很重要,並且相互聯係。最終他所描述的是一個意義缺席的信息世界,但這就是他的觀點……全書內容的密度,對讀者提齣瞭很高的要求,而且完全令人信服。“ 芭芭拉·菲斯特,《高等教育界》
评分清晰地論證瞭我們對技術的熱情和依賴是如何削弱人類可靠地預測未來風險的能力,並對我們造成威脅。布萊德爾的多學科研究巧妙地跨越瞭科學、政治和藝術領域。 《弗裏茲》
