A review by stevendedalus
New Dark Age: Technology and the End of the Future by James Bridle
5.0
Revelatory, with an inventive meta-commentary network structure that subtly weaves his chapters into a linked whole that exposes the hidden horrors that unexamined automated algorithms have wreaked on our world.
Bridle finds brilliant examples to bring home the vastness of surveillance, financialization, philosophical nihilism, and just a bit too little a criticism of capitalism, to really make you examine the underlying structures of how you live.
It's a fascinating project that succeeds admirably at its stated goal, changing the way you think.
