Jarod Lanier in the Chronicle of Higher Education talks about the end of human specialness and the alarming ascendance of a computerized collective unconscious:
"If you listen first, and write later, then whatever you write will have had time to filter through your brain, and you'll be in what you say. This is what makes you exist. If you are only a reflector of information, are you really there?"
His speech at the LSE last year, in which he lays out the premise behind his book "You are not a gadget" is interesting, provocative and is available as a podcast here.
