From the highly acclaimed author of WAYS OF BEING. We live in times
of increasing inscrutability. Our news feeds are filled with
unverified, unverifiable speculation, much of it automatically
generated by anonymous software. As a result, we no longer
understand what is happening around us. Underlying all of these
trends is a single idea: the belief that quantitative data can
provide a coherent model of the world, and the efficacy of
computable information to provide us with ways of acting within it.
Yet the sheer volume of information available to us today reveals
less than we hope. Rather, it heralds a new Dark Age: a world of
ever-increasing incomprehension. In his brilliant new work, leading
artist and writer James Bridle offers us a warning against the
future in which the contemporary promise of a new technologically
assisted Enlightenment may just deliver its opposite: an age of
complex uncertainty, predictive algorithms, surveillance, and the
hollowing out of empathy. Surveying the history of art, technology
and information systems he reveals the dark clouds that gather over
discussions of the digital sublime.
