In the tradition of Jaron Laniers You Are Not a Gadget, a rousing, sharply arguedand, yes, inspiring!reckoning with our blind faith in technologyCan technology solve all our problems? Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, many of our most famous journalists, pundits, and economists seem to think so. According to them, intelligent machines and big data will free us from work, educate our children, transform our environment, and even make religion more userfriendly. This is the story theyre telling us: that we should stop worrying and love our robot future.But just because you tell a story over and over again doesnt make it true. Curtis White, one of our most brilliant and perceptive social critics, knows all about the danger of a seductive story, and in We, Robots, he tangles with the socalled thinkers who are convinced that the future is rosecolored and robotically enhanced.With tremendous erudition and a punchy wit, White argues that we must be skeptical of anyone who tries to sell us on technological inevitability. And he gives us an alternative set of stories: taking inspiration from artists as disparate as Sufjan Stevens, Lars von Trier, and Franois Rabelais, White shows us that by looking to art, we can imagine a different kind of future.No robots required.
