Not with a bang, but a swipe: The techpocalypse is already here.
Jul 18 2015
We’re so slow to act. The world is moving so quickly right now, but the tendency in our officials is to be 15 behind the times of any technological change. Obviously the public consciousness hasn’t caught up to this either.
Writer Heather Havrilesky reads two books on the future of technology and flips ahead to an apocalyptic hellscape of drones, hackers, phone-sized computers that transmit personal information to giant corporations, and terms of service agreements that nobody bothers to read.
Heather wrote the article Apocalypse Soon in the latest issue of The Baffler.
