Information is a tool of control; the one who owns it gains power. We are people of the information age. We're used to shopping on Amazon, communicating on Facebook, doing Google searches, and just killing time using Apple products. These four giant companies have one thing in common - they all call themselves defenders of human individuality and diversity of opinion, acting in the interests of all people. But is everything so good? Or is the tyranny of algorithms hungry for our data behind the “selfless” goals of technopolies? Franklin Foer in his book provides a relevant analysis of the reasons why the idealistic dreams of new technologies of the pioneers of Silicon Valley turned into mechanisms of oppression and alienation of freedom and rights. And our present and future depend on how successfully we defend our own autonomy in the face of this threat.
