In the revolutionary fervor of the 1960s, youthful individuals worldwide clamored for a transformative departure from the established industrial order, envisioning a future of technological liberation and boundless prosperity. The industrial order did indeed collapse, giving rise to a digital economy that has taken its place, yet many have found themselves marginalized and deprived of the opportunity for a better life.
The Inglorious Years delves into the various ways in which we have been let down by the ascendant tide of technology, illustrating how our newfound interconnectedness fails to live up to its promise. Economist Daniel Cohen, in this enlightening book, elucidates how the postindustrial society of today is reshaping us all into sequences of data that can be manipulated by algorithms from any corner of the globe. As the assembly line of yesterday gave way to online work, the leftist protests of the 1960s have metamorphosed into vehement rallies by the populist right. Cohen adeptly demonstrates how the digital economy reproduces the same blend of promises and disappointments as the old industrial order, resurrecting concerns about society that were pertinent to ancient civilizations and remain equally relevant to us in the present day.
Brilliant and thought-provoking, The Inglorious Years engages in a profound exploration of the future of the new digital society and unveils strategies for reclaiming control over our lives.
