This talks about a lot of problems, but I have a hard time gleaning any wisdom from it aside from "Computers bad, tech companies like money". If the epistemology they're using isn't good, I don't see any real suggestion on what we should be using. What can we learn from the fields of Media Studies and Art History that can help us make better city planning decisions? It also commits the sin of criticizing some nebulous other, an unclear amorphous cloud of tech-bros, capitalism, and other symbols for things people just don't like. Is the app that tells me if the bus is running late not an example or these connected cities? Traffic lights that adapt to traffic flows? Are we not building a smart city with every connected bus, every car-detecting traffic light, every pedestrian crossing with a button? This article doesn't clearly point at a problem, or clearly impart any lessons that I can learn. It just vaguely points in the direction of companies and people the author doesn't like.
