  1. Just finished this short story by EM #Forster#TheMachineStops. Published in 1928 it resonates with both #LuxuryAutomatedCommunism and #TechnoUtopianism narratives with a dystopia of a future where humans have swapped connection and reality for video conference and automated comforts. It’s a bleak apolitical future where technology is God, and quite on track for the nightmare path many evangelise where technology is put ahead of all that keeps us human.

  6. "A decade ago, I called this solutionism, but “digital neoliberalism” would be just as fitting. This worldview reframes social problems in light of for-profit technological solutions. As a result, concerns that belong in the public domain are reimagined as entrepreneurial opportunities in the marketplace."
