New Dark Age: Technology and the End of the Future by James Bridle

5.0

I LOVE this book even though it terrifies me. James Bridle draws damning parallels between seemingly very unrelated things like surprise egg videos on YouTube and the proliferation of fake news. He makes fascinating points, like that oppressive imperialist policies are encoded in the physical framework of data structures. He explores highly intriguing shit like weather manipulation and secret deportation flights. Extremely thought-provoking and even fairly accessible!
