norbauer.co
We were promised a grassroots global bazaar; what we got was a creepy panopticon, purpose-built for authoritarians and monopolists. Instead of an egalitarian global community of man, we got the glow of a screen in an empty room, social media status anxiety, and AI companions mining our loneliness and vulnerabilities for better ad targeting. We have assassination drones, but flying cars are nowhere to be found.
