Synopsis
You signed without reading. Today, yesterday, three hours ago. Sixty-four pages of legal text governing your digital life, and you hit accept without looking at a single line. But that is exactly what a fourteenth-century peasant did when the priest read him the Mass in Latin. He did not understand a word. He said amen because amen had always been said. The distance between that peasant and you is considerably smaller than it seems. This book covers it all: from the scribes who invented writing to control, not to liberate, to the algorithms that filter your reality without your knowledge and without knowing themselves why they do it.
Themes explored in this book
An essay on knowledge, intermediaries and power, from scribes and priests to experts and algorithms.
