Book part: Enslaved by digital technology
Author(s):
Abstract
Mihai Nadin sees the human condition at stake in the Gold
Rush obsession of digital technology entrepreneurs; he
considers big data the ‘ultimate surrender to the technology
of brute force’ and the age of information ‘by definition an
age of total transparency.’ He detects a new Faustian deal
where Faust trades better judgment for perfect calculation; he
unmasks social media as the ‘background for conformity’ and
revolutionary technology as the underlying foundation of the
ruling economic system.
