Review of 'The People Vs. Tech'
2 stars
That parts of it are dated by now, was to be expected. But even so, while some of the basic premises and observations - summerized as Big Tech is a threat to democracy - are valid, the critique stays very much on the surface level. Worse still, at many points Bartlett veers into an uncritical fanboy of certain technologies, functioning as an unthinking mouthpiece for certain tech-interests (the whole chapter on crypto is glaring in this regard).
