Technobabel: Against the inevitability of tomorrow's robot economy.
Writer Curtis White looks at the tomorrow being sold by today's tech cheerleaders and sees massive environmental and economic disruption guided by the rise of a myopic, Randian technoplutocracy, and explains how it's not too late to change the course we're on, and why the key to resisting tech narratives might be found in the romanticism of Bjork.
Curtis is author of We, Robots: Staying Human in the Age of Big Data from Melville House.
