Abstract

« Ce livre défend une thèse simple : aujourd'hui, ceux qui participent aux débats sur la technologie soutiennent, souvent à leur insu, l'idéologie néolibérale dans ce qu'elle a de pire. La plupart des critiques de la Silicon Valley, de quelque bord qu'ils soient, sont alignés sur le néolibéralisme. Ce n'est pas parce qu'ils haïssent Google et Amazon qu'ils combattent la rapacité du capitalisme financiarisé.Une critique technologique émancipatrice est-elle possible ? J'en suis convaincu. Mais il faut d'abord comprendre les insuffisances de la critique actuelle. Elle est inoffensive pour une raison précise, et n'a qu'un moyen de se rendre plus radicale et plus conséquente : elle doit étudier sérieusement l'économie politique de la Silicon Valley, mais aussi la place grandissante que celle-ci occupe au sein de l'architecture fluide, constamment en évolution du capitalisme mondial.La Silicon Valley nous fait souvent de fausses promesses, mais le problème n'est pas là. Le problème, c'est surtout que ces promesses ont pour toile de fond la disparition de l'État social, remplacé par des modèles plus légers, plus rapides, plus cybernétiques ; le problème a trait au rôle que le libre flux des données est appelé à jouer dans un commerce mondial totalement dérégulé.

Abstract

In the very near future, smart technologies and big data will allow us to make large-scale and sophisticated interventions in politics, culture, and everyday life. Technology will allow us to solve problems in highly original ways and create new incentives to get more people to do the right thing. But how will such solutionism affect our society, once deeply political, moral, and irresolvable dilemmas are recast as uncontroversial and easily manageable matters of technological efficiency? What if some such problems are simply vices in disguise? What if some friction in communication is productive and some hypocrisy in politics necessary? The temptation of the digital age is to fix everything -from crime to corruption to pollution to obesity- by digitally quantifying, tracking, or gamifying behavior. But when we change the motivations for our moral, ethical, and civic behavior we may also change the very nature of that behavior. Technology, Evgeny Morozov proposes, can be a force for improvement-but only if we keep solutionism in check and learn to appreciate the imperfections of liberal democracy. Some of those imperfections are not accidental but by design.Arguing that we badly need a new, post-Internet way to debate the moral consequences of digital technologies, To Save Everything, Click Here warns against a world of seamless efficiency, where everyone is forced to wear Silicon Valley's digital straitjacket.Bron : http://www.amazon.com

Abstract

Our gadgets are getting smarter. Technology can log what we buy, customize what we consume and enable us to save and share every aspect of our existence. In the future, we're told, it will even make public life - from how we're governed to how we record crime - better. But can the digital age fix everything? Should it? By quantifying our behaviour, Evgeny Morozov argues, we are profoundly reshaping society - and risk losing the opacity and imperfection that make us human.

Abstract

The revolution will be Twittered! declared journalist Andrew Sullivan after protests erupted in Iran. But as journalist and social commentator Evgeny Morozov argues in The Net Delusion, the Internet is a tool that both revolutionaries and authoritarian governments can use. For all of the talk in the West about the power of the Internet to democratize societies, regimes in Iran and China are as stable and repressive as ever. Social media sites have been used there to entrench dictators and threaten dissidents, making it harder - not easier - to promote democracy.Marshalling a compelling set of case studies, The Net Delusion shows why the cyber-utopian stance that the Internet is inherently liberating is wrong, and how ambitious and seemingly noble initiatives like the promotion of Internet freedom are misguided and, on occasion, harmful.Bron : http://www.amazon.com

Abstract

Morozov behandelt op een vlijmscherpe manier de belangrijkste kwesties rondom digitale technologieën, privacy en politiek. Hij ontmaskert valse voorstellingen en naïeve opvattingen. Het denken dat het internet uniek is en dat techniek een eigen wil heeft, haalt hij overtuigend onderuit.
