The hymn of Digitalization is nothing new: We must encourage the
creation of new apps. We must develop AI in order to prevail among
international competition. Technology's advance will halt climate
change and let robots do the dumb stuff for us. Our faith in
technology is powerful because it has saved us in the past. The
Almighty Machine shows us technology's flip side. The things that
once powered us toward a brighter tomorrow are already undermining
our quality of life. The data stream has shattered our
concentration, human relationships have been reduced to a menu of
emojis, constant surveillance has nullified much of our privacy,
and the development of AI could be the beginning of the end for us.
We are becoming the casualties of our own success. Pekka Vahvanen's
bristling and timely critique, deftly translated by Mark Jones,
throws doubt on the necessity of technological development in a
world saturated in tech. The Almighty Machine presents an important
question: Does progress no longer make us happier?
