Good read. Author writes Dick predicted four technologies:
* forensic text analysis
* automatic text generation
* SEO, aka writing for machine demands
* hyper-personalized recommendation engine
Author says these are all kinda inevitable, the first three are already contemporary, so we should expect the fourth to come rather soon.

- rurban 4y agoWell the 4th technology was easily replaced by majority media control. Which Noam Chomsky describes so well in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Consent https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Consent. There's no need for personalized links, when you can easily control all link targets in mass media via unregulated consolidation.
