The issue however is that society does not have a technology problem, it has a metaphysics problem: under, over, and for what should there be a we. Hence why all the futures we imagine through technology can barely go beyond a boring distopia.
You can’t have a “we” if you don’t directly connect in a meaningful way your experiences.
Wrote the same thing yesterday in this Techrights piece [1]
I think there's a genuine danger in writing "dystopian warnings" like this. Plenty of people are now actually at the stage where they cannot see the joke.
Christopher Hitchens wrote on North Korea's Kim Jong-Un (and later Cory Doctorow said something similar), that Orwell's warning had simply been taken as a blueprint. For the same reason psychotherapists refuse to treat psychopaths - it arms them with better ways to be manipulative. The problem with satirical tech-critique is that for a lot of people our "Dystopia" is their "Utopia", and our frightening visions just gives them ideas.
