Tech leaders make risky choices that will affect all of us. This is how we fight back.
Though we're often told that "You can't stop progress," we CAN identify powerful factors that push technologies (and technologists) in dangerous directions. And this book presents an exceptionally comprehensive array of specific things that we can do to resist.
The Frankenstein Fix offers insights from many experts including digital media theorist Douglas Rushkoff, science historian Stephen Johnson, and psychologist Katy Cook, and it provides a cornucopia of unique features, from an intriguing account of how people have resisted problematic inventions throughout history, to surprising takes on space colonization and why the Amish resist technology, to a toolbox of techniques that could enable us to predict—and avoid—future troubles.
