Summary:
"Benjamin Bratton writes about world-spanning intelligences, grinding geopolitical tectonics, "accidental megastructures" of geotechnical cruft, the millienia-long terraforming project through which humans rendered an earth into a world, and the question of what global-scale order means in the twilight of the Westphalian nation-state. Candidly, if either of us were to recommend a book to help you understand the present state of 'politics' or 'technology', we'd probably start with Bratton's The Stack - written 10 years ago, but still very much descriptive of our world and illuminative of its futures. If the first 10 minutes are too "tech industry" for you - just skip ahead. The whole conversation is seriously fire, and it spikes hit after hit of takes on privacy, bias, alignment, subjectivity, the primacy of the individual ... all almost entirely unrepresented within the Discourse."-- provided by distributor.
