Krátky popis
Today, the human race faces a new problem. Thanks to information
technology, vast asymmetries of knowledge and power have opened up.
Through the screens of our smart devices, corporations and
governments know what we're doing, what we're thinking, can predict
our next moves and influence our behaviour.We, meanwhile, don't
even have the right to know that any of this is going on. As Paul
Mason argues in this pyrotechnic new book, all this is intimately
connected to the urgent economic, political and moral crises we are
living through now. Clear Bright Futureexplores how, during the
preceding decades, the free-market system reduced us to
two-dimensional consumers. Underlying the dominance of these
forces, Mason contends, is the idea that human values no longer
have foundation - an idea that, as we allow the all-pervasive
presence of machines in our lives, we are tacitly coming to
accept.And, if these forces are not stopped, we will relive
something even worse than the 1930s. But there is another way. We
have the power to imagine and design a better system, at the heart
of which is a radical reassertion of our common humanity. All this,
Mason asserts, starts with a simple, fundamental choice.Will we
accept the machine control of human beings, or will we resist it?
