To Save Everything, Click Here: The Folly of Technological Solutionism by Evgeny Morozov
5.0
A powerful and highly necessary reflection on the politics of technology. Morozov ability to synthesise current discourses around technology and more specifically “the internet” is simply brilliant.
I was impressed by the depth but also by the range of domains touched throughout the discussion - Openness, Neutrality, Big Data, Quantification, Gamification, Self-augmentation, Algorithmic ruling, Philosophy vs. Psychology, etc. Morozov is an avid observer and thinker, he’s someone interested in understanding in depth the intricacies of the interconnected world.
This is no luddite manifesto, this is an appeal to reflection about the world we’re creating. An appeal to take control of the world we live in, instead of being controlled but the so called inevitabilities of the technological progress.
I’ll dive in depth on the immense subjects touched in the book in my blog soon.
