Hi All,Could you help me collect any and all info that may be available on the use of technology for good and evil?I'm looking for readings, bibliographies, syllabi, media articles, and any other resources you may know of.
Yasha Levine: Surveillance Valley is a good start. One of the works it refers to is Fred Turner: From Counterculture to Cyberculturewhich describes many surprising and problematic aspects of the "Californian ideology".
Then there is *"*/All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace", a TV series by Adam Curtis./
Especialle episode 2, "The Use and Abuse of Vegetational Concepts", on the influence of cybernetics on the 60s countercultural movement, is interesting (and chilling).
Adam Curtis' BBC program "The Trap" is also worth seeing, about the use (and abuse) of game theory in politics (and politicking).
