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.
James Bridle is a writer, journalist, technologist, and visual artist. He writes for the Guardian, Observer, Wired, Frieze, the Atlantic, and many other publications.
感謝豆瓣贈書。封麵巨大的反光圓形圖案極富張力,讀者可以從中窺得自己的模糊身影。這也契閤瞭本書的主題——未來的世界是否會更耀眼,同時更模糊。 作為標準工科生,一直對於科技發展、技術進步和生産力的提升抱有積極態度,饒是曆史和當下都齣現許多因科技發展而産生的悲劇,...

評分現在的我,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,...
評分時代的焦慮和科技的局限 文/韜子 Do not go gentle into that good night. ——Dylan Thomas 人類近代曆史錶明,隨著新科技的齣現,一係列的誤解、偏見及道德恐慌是伴隨而生的。每一次技術轉型(技術工具塑造新的社會階段),都在不斷的産生齣對科學技術的道德辯論,怎麼樣的樂觀...
評分如今,我們無時無刻不在享受著科技帶來的便利,但我們又無時無刻不活在科技帶來的恐懼中,貧富差距擴大,社會分化加劇等。 如何避免陷入這種恐懼的漩渦?,是我們每個人都應該思考的問題。 以全新的方式思考新技術,以批判性的眼光對待新技術。 我們既要相信未來會更好,也要對...
新黑暗時代是我所讀過的關於互聯網的最令人不安和最有啓發性的書之一,也就是說,它是我讀過的關於當代生活的最令人不安和最有啓發性的書之一。 《紐約客》
评分對即將來臨黑暗時代的所有事物進行的一次精闢研究。具有說服力和必要性。
评分While new technologies of the digital age allow us to connect, collect and share information, they’re ushering us into a new dark age, where the world seems more complex and confusing than ever before. Big Data 有多可怕,我很無知。片名讓我直接想到Middle Dark Age.
评分一本麵嚮大中的科普類書。
评分可以當成一部現實版《黑鏡》,以及“如何防止網絡造成人類自我毀滅指南”來讀。
