James Bridle is a writer, journalist, technologist, and visual artist. He writes for the Guardian, Observer, Wired, Frieze, the Atlantic, and many other publications.
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.
某互联网巨头曾经说过这么一句话:“中国人愿意用隐私去交换便利性。” 这句话只说出了表象的结果,却完全忽视了中间省略掉的必要逻辑链环。如果每个中国人都能清楚地知道为什么自己只是下载一款普普通通的单机游戏,却被要求提供通讯录和地理位置权限,恐怕大部分中国人都会对...
评分首先感谢豆瓣的活动,这次物流非常给力,周日就收到了。这本《新黑暗时代》读起来非常轻松,逻辑很通畅,不愧为《连线》杂志2018年度最佳科技类图书。作者在第一章就抛出了论题-新黑暗时代,这个时代之所以黑暗,是因为科技本来应该给人类提供便利,盛行的基要主义却让这个时代...
评分现在的我,正在四十度左右,湿闷的天气情况下,读书、写字。 正如《新黑暗时代》一书中,第三章的内容,几十页,讨论的都是气候,难道要写上两句对气候的想法吗? 错了,略有点肤浅。 科技的进步,给我们的生活带来了显而易见的好处。然而,在实际中,不可避免的增加了复杂性,...
评分要知道,你每次跨越国界、每次购买商品、每打一个电话、每经过一座信号塔,你交往的朋友、写下的文章、访问的站点、打下的标题、发送的信息,都在一个系统的掌握之中。它的触角并无限制,但它的防护措施却很有限。--爱德华·斯诺登 我们生活在一个日益无法预测的时代。我们所接...
评分你用手机来记录身边值得纪念的时刻,和亲朋好友进行亲密无间的交流;你带着运动手环跑步,测量睡眠状况。你能想到,有朝一日,这些信息会被事无巨细地传到世界的某个角落,成为某个系统的资料来源吗? 希腊的一些高级公务员,就曾经遗憾地发现,这类事情竟然出现在自己身上。本...
新黑暗时代是我所读过的关于互联网的最令人不安和最有启发性的书之一,也就是说,它是我读过的关于当代生活的最令人不安和最有启发性的书之一。 《纽约客》
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,我很无知。片名让我直接想到Middle Dark Age.
