Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Truer now than when it was writtenthe prophetic classic now back in print. Twenty-six years after its original publication, Borsooks smart, funny and irreverent (The New York Times) critique of high-tech has proved a prescient assessment of a toxic ethos which has seeped into every corner of our world.Cyberselfish saw the warning signs about a culture violently lacking in compassion, tremendously opposed to regulation, more comfortable with computers than people, and surprisingly ignorant. An ironic position, given this cohort was perhaps the single biggest recipient of the greatest government subsidy of technology and expansion in history. But it is also a culture that believes in Ayn Rand and the stockholder theory of value and acts as if privacy isn't for the Little People.Borsook foresaw that once tech boomed to new heights of financial success, those at the helm would feel their achievement in one sphere should result in greater power and influence in others.

Paperback. Condition: New. In 2000, Google's motto was "Don't be evil." In 2018, with the company valued at $766 billion, the phrase was officially scrubbed from their code of conduct. During that time, optimism about the future and the open internet gave way to defeatism in the face of social-media siloing, subscription models, and algorithmic capture of our inner lives, as a new breed of political ideology swept the halls of power and heralded tech's colonisation of our political horizons: technolibertarianism. Back by popular demand after more than two decades underground, Paulina Borksook's Cyberselfish is the founding document for countercultural criticism of Silicon Valley's power and its abuses. At once personal and political, Borsook's writing is a travelogue through an ideological landscape where the free market is going to liberate us all (except the poor, who will need to be housed in factory cities), information wants to be free (to those who can afford it), and private enterprise is the way of the future (as long as the public are footing the bill).…
