As the world around us increases in technological complexity, our understanding of it diminishes. Underlying this trend is a single idea: the belief that our existence is understandable through computation, and more data is enough to help us build a better world.
In reality, we are lost in a sea of information, increasingly divided by fundamentalism, simplistic narratives, conspiracy theories, and post-factual politics. Meanwhile, those in power use our lack of understanding to further their own interests. Despite the apparent accessibility of information, we’re living in a new Dark Age.
From rogue financial systems to shopping algorithms, from artificial intelligence to state secrecy, we no longer understand how our world is governed or presented to us. The media is filled with unverifiable speculation, much of it generated by anonymous software, while companies dominate their employees through surveillance and the threat of automation.
In his brilliant new work, leading artist and writer James Bridle surveys the history of art, technology, and information systems, and reveals the dark clouds that gather over our dreams of the digital sublime.
James Bridle is a writer, journalist, technologist, and visual artist. He writes for the Guardian, Observer, Wired, Frieze, the Atlantic, and many other publications.
只要你拷打数据的时间足够长,它什么都供认不讳。--罗纳德 科斯 如何思考会思考的机器,是互联网时代的一个经典问题。人们的态度有乐观、有悲观,各自有足够的数据去支撑。正如布莱德尔在《新黑暗时代》所说:”如果你在网上为自己的观点寻求支持,你总能找到。不仅如此,你还...

前几章不知道在讲什么想要生拉硬拽的既视感(和技术有关的细节确实很多,很难统一),但是后面几章结合现实以及对于技术原理的阐释,给了一些让人细思极恐的 scenario,值得一读。期待引进。
评分所有科学都沦为了大数据科学
评分计算机时代的乔治·奥威尔 ——科克斯书评
评分清晰地论证了我们对技术的热情和依赖是如何削弱人类可靠地预测未来风险的能力,并对我们造成威胁。布莱德尔的多学科研究巧妙地跨越了科学、政治和艺术领域。 《弗里兹》
评分对即将来临黑暗时代的所有事物进行的一次精辟研究。具有说服力和必要性。
