"There were two competing visions at the dawn of the modern digital era: in one
camp, you had people who saw computers as a way to empower people to push back
against corporate and state control; in the other camp, there were the people
who wanted to use computers to transfer power from the public to corporations
or governments.
I've always been baffled by the technologists who pursued control over
liberation: surely their own formative experiences were of the liberatory power
of technology. After experiencing that power, how could these Vichy nerds lend
their skills to the project of forging digital shackles?"
