These days, the heady promises of Silicon Valley seem suspect: the internet didn't bring all of humanity together; neither did smartphones or social media. We have long since stopped associating tech with utopian visions of global harmony, instead blaming it for distraction, polarization, addictions to porn and gambling, the trivialization of culture, loss of privacy and work-life balance, and fears that automation may push millions out of a job. Advances in artificial intelligence seem poised to bring us to the next technological watershed. It's a good time to ask how we can learn to live well with tech, and how we might push back against technologies that shape humans in anti-human ways.
