Re-read [[Radical Technologies]] by @adamgreenfield@social.coop and it remains an absolute banger.
Thorough critique of the technologies you see bandied around as part of the ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’ – smartphones, IoT, AR/VR, blockchain, digital fabrication, automation, ML/AI.
Fair, but mostly damning. And still right on point 5 years since publication.
The last two chapters on the Stacks, possible futures and tactics are gold.
Last but not least, it’s gorgeously written.
