James Bridle.
New Dark Age: technology and the end of the future.
Verso. 2018

Accessible information was meant to help us understand the world better. Yet we are lost in a sea of data, increasingly divided by fundamentalism, conspiracy theories, and post-factual politics. In his brilliant new work, leading artist and writer James Bridle excavates the limits of technology and its consequences. Surveying the history of art, technology, and information systems he explores the dark clouds that gather over our dreams of the digital sublime.
