The new resistance: facing technological violence.

Summary The back cover states: "Technology as it develops today is the bearer of great hopes. But it is also intrusive, dominating and an instrument of confinement in codified and manipulated universes. Never in human history has technical progress given so many means to a few private actors - the GAFA or their Chinese equivalents, the BATX. They have been able to replace politics by imposing a new societal model, which is threatening our democracies. Faced with the digital and financial giants, a diffuse and plural resistance is developing. The solution will not only come from the States. Citizens, startups, hackers, NGOs are acting, collectively and in their most individual practices, to resist. They refuse to let their lives, their thoughts, their philosophical choices be controlled by some anonymous big data. This book does not aim to give the solution. But, beyond the catastrophist speeches, it traces the contours of the reaction movement that is emerging, and which opens a path towards a respectable and desirable future.
