James Bridle on New Dark Age | #TNW2019

James Bridle, Author of The New Dark Age | Instead of a utopian future in which technological advancement casts a dazzling, emancipatory light on the world, we seem to be entering a new dark age characterised by ever more bizarre and unforeseen events. The Enlightenment ideal of distributing more information ever more widely has not led us to greater understanding and growing peace, but instead seems to be fostering social divisions, distrust, conspiracy theories and post-factual politics. How have we come to this point – and has utopia gone forever? http://bit.ly/2Ej70Da TNW May 20, 2019 at 04:40AM
