Everywhere we turn, a startling new device promises to transfigure
our lives. But at what cost? In this urgent and revelatory
excavation of our Information Age, leading technology thinker Adam
Greenfield forces us to reconsider our relationship with the
networked objects, services and spaces that define us. It is time
to reevaluate the Silicon Valley consensus determining the future.
Having successfully colonised everyday life, radical technologies -
from smartphones, blockchain, augmented-reality interfaces and
virtual assistants to 3D printing, autonomous delivery drones and
self-driving cars - are now conditioning the choices available to
us in the years to come. How do they work? What challenges do they
present to us, as individuals and societies? Who benefits from
their adoption? In answering these questions, Greenfield's timely
guide clarifies the scale and nature of the crisis we now confront
- and offers ways to reclaim our stake in the future.
