Watch the live stream for NEW DARK AGE: TECHNOLOGY AND THE END OF THE FUTURE, JAMES BRIDLE BOOK TOUR
Eyebeam alum, James Bridle, will speak about his latest book New Dark Age: Technology and the End of the Future.
We live in times of increasing inscrutability. Our news feeds are filled with unverified, unverifiable speculation, much of it automatically generated by anonymous software. As a result, we no longer understand what is happening around us. Underlying all of these trends is a single idea: the belief that quantitative data can provide a coherent model of the world, and the efficacy of computable information to provide us with ways of acting within it. Yet the sheer volume of information available to us today reveals less than we hope. Rather, it heralds a new Dark Age: a world of ever-increasing incomprehension.
