Okay , in our unstable era the global war on terror (or any imitation thereof ), air travel has lost all the charm , the glamour of the past . Checks , interrogations , x-rays , searches . What is not its done in the name of security ,right ?Wrong . Because now even security (or any imitation of it ) has bypassed the parameters . To turn into a meta-totalitarian weapon in reverse : intrusion , violation , intimidation , prevarication. The malignant root of all this ?Apparently, the most inoffensive and most unlikely ever google.
Exactly, “the search engine of search engines “, which has become the planetary empire of the web. Except that this google no longer has anything to do with the google we have known and know .In the bad new world called the internet , this google is the strangling and oppressive , persuasive and invasive entity . Just connect even for an instant , and this google looks at everything and sees everything , scrutinize everyone and analyze everyone . An authentic , deadly Big Brother controlled by, … Who?
With Scroogled , the ace of contemporary science fiction Cory Doctorow draws the caustic and merciless map of yet another virtual hell into which ,willingly but above all unwillingly , we could have already sunk.
