具體描述
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.

計算機時代的喬治·奧威爾 ——科剋斯書評
评分所有科學都淪為瞭大數據科學
评分清晰地論證瞭我們對技術的熱情和依賴是如何削弱人類可靠地預測未來風險的能力，並對我們造成威脅。布萊德爾的多學科研究巧妙地跨越瞭科學、政治和藝術領域。 《弗裏茲》
评分While new technologies of the digital age allow us to connect, collect and share information, they’re ushering us into a new dark age, where the world seems more complex and confusing than ever before. Big Data 有多可怕，我很無知。片名讓我直接想到Middle Dark Age.
