dc.description.abstractJohn Cayley positions ‘capta’ against ‘data’, reveals vectoralization as algorithmic determination within a new socioeconomic architecture, bemoans the blackmail of ‘terms of service’ as well as the infantile misunderstanding of what it is to be a social human by Mark Zuckerberg and the serfdom of narcissistic selves to the data-greedy service providers. He underlines the dumbness and deception of statistics and algorithmic agency, wonders when the vectoralist class of big software will, eventually, be ‘too big to fail,’ speculates about unrealized artworks with Google Translate, rejects “social reading” and fears Digital Humanities.en
