Please read the book, it’s mind blowing. I was such a techno-optimist, dreaming of software and hardware solutions to the problems of today day and night, scribbling projects often. Thinking “Only if this was done that problem will be gone.”
I was shocked for an entire week for the lie I realized I was told. The lie that technology has benefitted humanity, that we live better than our ancestors. I didn’t want to believe it at all, who wants to accept Rust or Neovim is fundamentally immoral? They were the best things in the world, from my bubble of aspiring coder & Linux enthusiast.
I am not going to counter your criticisms here because I don’t have time and the book does it far better than me: https://ia600300.us.archive.org/21/items/tk-Technological-Slavery/tk-Technological-Slavery.pdf https://ia600300.us.archive.org/21/items/tk-Technological-Sl...
