A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of 2017 •One of the best books of the year by The New York Times, LA Times, and NPR

Franklin Foer reveals the existential threat posed by big tech, and in his brilliant polemic gives us the toolkit to fight their pervasive influence.

Over the past few decades there has been a revolution in terms of who controls knowledge and information. This rapid change has imperiled the way we think. Without pausing to consider the cost, the world has rushed to embrace the products and services of four titanic corporations. We shop with Amazon; socialize on Facebook; turn to Apple for entertainment; and rely on Google for information. These firms sell their efficiency and purport to make the world a better place, but what they have done instead is to enable an intoxicating level of daily convenience. As these companies have expanded, marketing themselves as champions of individuality and pluralism, their algorithms have pressed us into conformity and laid waste to privacy. They have produced an unstable and narrow culture of misinformation, and put us on a path to a world without private contemplation, autonomous thought, or solitary introspection—a world without mind. In order to restore our inner lives, we must avoid being coopted by these gigantic companies, and understand the ideas that underpin their success. 
 
Elegantly tracing the intellectual history of computer science—from Descartes and the enlightenment to Alan Turing to Stewart Brand and the hippie origins of today's Silicon Valley—Foer exposes the dark underpinnings of our most idealistic dreams for technology. The corporate ambitions of Google, Facebook, Apple, and Amazon, he argues, are trampling longstanding liberal values, especially intellectual property and privacy. This is a nascent stage in the total automation and homogenization of social, political, and intellectual life. By reclaiming our private authority over how we intellectually engage with the world, we have the power to stem the tide.

At stake is nothing less than who we are, and what we will become. There have been monopolists in the past but today's corporate giants have far more nefarious aims. They’re monopolists who want access to every facet of our identities and influence over every corner of our decision-making. Until now few have grasped the sheer scale of the threat. Foer explains not just the looming existential crisis but the imperative of resistance.

レビュー

Essential reading - while we still know what reading is - Foer's terrifying analysis of the cyber state we're in is both portrait gallery of the robber barons, the monopolists, the tax dodgers and the fantasists who own the data troughs from which we feed, and passionate plea for the retention of those values of privacy, nonconformity, contemplation, creativity and mind, which the Big Tech companies are well on their way to destroying, not out of cynicism but the deepest ignorance of what a person is and why individuality is indispensable to him. This book leaves us in no doubt: no greater threat to our humanity exists. -- Howard Jacobson As the dust settles from the great tech upheavals of the early 21st century, it turns out that the titans of Silicon Valley have not ushered us into a utopia of peace and freedom. Instead, as Foer so convincingly shows, by monopolizing the means of distribution, they have systematically demonetized and degraded the written word. World without Mind makes a passionate, deeply informed case for the need to take back culture - knowledge, information, ideas - from the Facebooks and Amazons. Its message could not be more timely. -- William Deresiewicz Franklin Foer's World Without Mind is a fascinating biography of the biggest players in big tech - a handful of humans that, through their decisions, govern the lives of seven billion tech consumers. Foer shows that these decisions are robbing us of our humanity, our values, and our ability to grapple with complexity. World Without Mind is an important and urgent book that should be required reading for anyone who's ever shopped on Amazon, swiped the screen on an Apple device, or scrolled through the Facebook newsfeed - in short, for all of us. -- Adam Alter A provocative, enlightening, and above all, important book that is asking the most important question of our times. It is nothing less than an examination of the future of humanity and what we like to call 'free will.' It is also a good read - Foer writes with an engaging vibrancy that makes the book a page-turner. -- Tim Wu World Without Mind is an argument in the spirit of those brave democracy protestors who stand alone before tanks. Franklin Foer asks us to unplug and think. He asks us to recognize and challenge Silicon Valley's monopoly power. His book is a vital response to digital utopianism at a time when we desperately need new ethics for social media. -- Steve Coll

5つ星のうち3.0 editorの遠吠えなのか？
2017年12月13日に日本でレビュー済み

この種の作品に時々手が伸びてしまいます。本書はそのタイトル、existential threatに魅かれて購入しました。驚いたことに、著者は How Soccer Explains the World の著者だったんですね。著者は、アメリカのhigh browな雑誌new republicのeditorを務めたこともある人物のようです。
さて中身はというと、期待とは裏腹に、サブタイトルのexistential threatの議論はそれほど深くは詰められていません。昔ながらのeditorの矜持が色濃く反映される議論がそこかしこに見受けられます。google, facebook, amazonの創始者のビジョンの背景が西欧の歴史文化的な背景と共にスケッチされていき、これらのビジョンに潜む強烈な世界観が簡潔に説明されていきます。それは、データの蓄積に基づく進歩幻想というlibertaniasmの一変種でありながら、奇妙なことにそこには個人を超えた共同体への不思議な楽観が潜んでいるのです。そう量は質に転嫁するのです。この楽観主義は金融と結びつき、computing powerの増殖と結びついて生み出されたのが、userの絶え間ないクリックを基準とする巨大なsurveillance businessなのです。著者の指摘する通り傲慢で不完全な世界です。
しかしinventされたものはdis-inventすることはできません。そこで著者が力説するのが、政府の適切な介入です。「独占」というのは古典的なアメリカ資本主義の最も嫌う状況だったのですが、政府の適切なgatekeepingなしにソ連崩壊後の「climate of opinion」の下で、自由に放置されたため、結果としてこの種の脅威をはらむ独占を生み出したわけです。いまさらどのようにして効果的な再介入を可能ならしめるのかは疑問です。これらのbig tech companiesはすでにワシントンの政治をも取り込んでいるのです。一方で中国はすでにこれらのbig techの技術を巨大なmass surveillanceとdisinformationの道具として明確に位置付けているのです。

5つ星のうち5.0 Required Reading for Anyone with a Google, Facebook, or Amazon Account
2017年9月13日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

“World Without Mind” is an important, impassioned book that should be required reading for anyone who owns an iPhone or Android, or has a Facebook, Google, or Amazon account.

Thirty years ago, college campuses were alive with protest and rebellion. It wasn’t anything like the sixties, but students still embraced the spirit of freedom and insisted on personal choice. The most political camped out in makeshift shantytowns demanding divestiture from South Africa and organized Take Back the Night marches. If a prophetess had appeared and told them that by the time their children were living in dorm rooms they’d be happily tracking their children’s every move via a smartphone app, buying clothing, books, and music recommended by the world’s largest and most secretive corporations, and voluntarily giving those corporations their most sensitive documents and precious memories for safekeeping—those students would not have believed her.

Foer is not a modern-day Cassandra predicting a dystopian future. Rather, he is a veteran journalist whose book “World Without Mind,” describes the world we already live in, but whose power dynamics we have, as a species, almost unanimously failed to grasp. The consequences for continuing to Snapchat and Facebook IM our lives away in blissful ignorance are likely to be profoundly disturbing, but they are also easy to avert.

In one of history’s most ironic twists, the students who were most equipped to rage against the machine—the best and the brightest and the most technologically savvy—spent the sixties, seventies and eighties preparing the ground for the growth of the most powerful corporations the world has ever seen. As Foer documents in his engaging and smart polemic, they were not motivated by an evil desire for control but by a craving for knowledge, community, and connection. Unfortunately for humanity, their motivations did not matter. The power of the tools they build did.

The Trojan horse of corporate control is now inside our gates. It has replicated a billion times and shape-shifted into tools we use hundreds of times a day without thinking. In many cases, a message delivered by one of the four big tech companies is the first thing an ordinary person looks at when they wake up and the last thing they consult before they fall asleep.

It might sound like Foer is against technology. But “World Without Mind” is not a call to revert to a less-connected, pre-Internet age. Foer does not advise throwing away your smartphone and deleting your Facebook account. What he advocates is informed consent fueled by an understanding of the agendas of the biggest technology firms and what they will do to achieve them. The bulk of his book is an engaging discussion of the ideology behind and the motivations of Google, Facebook, and Amazon, with fascinating digressions into Descartes' view of automata, Abraham Lincoln’s use of the telegraph key, and how the 1891 copyright law transformed writing from a hobby into a profession.

“It’s hard not to marvel at these companies and their inventions, which often make life infinitely easier,” Foer says. “But we’ve spent too long marveling. The time has arrived to consider the consequences of these monopolies, to reassert our role in determining our human path.”

Imagine asking an important question on the internet about new technologies and internet and how they affect our lives and then getting a typical internet response from someone who at first describes his own life an then tries to throw irrelevant historical information in order to sound more educated. Of course he tries to connect this historical information with one or two sentences that somehow relate to your question. He does not want anybody to suspect that he does not really have an educated argument with a lot of self critique. And then, at the very end, he writes - "There are moments when we all seem to agree on this point. The election of Donald Trump came with the shock of collective recognition that our media culture has decayed..."

I don't want to waste your time disproving authors naive arguments and his lack of education about the technology. If you want to read better books about this sort of stuff, look up Nicholas Carr. The Glass Cage and the Shallows were definitely better than this one even if I disagree with Carr he at least had the capacity to present the facts and his case right and in a single narrative.

We are going through great changes with the digital era in a deep way that we are not fully aware of. This book is good tool to understand the means and what's behind daily actions that we take for granted and natural, but that are not.
