Annotation

A technological libertarian eutopia for the extremely wealthy made possible for the wholesale harvesting of information on individuals used to undermine democracy, based on Palintir. All the stories in the book are responses to a recent book, A New City O/S: The Power of Open, Collaborative, and Distributed Government (Washington, DC: Brookings Institution Press, 2017), by Stephen Goldsmith and Neil Kleiman, that proposes, in the editors’ interpretation, that cities should act more like Amazon in dealing with their citizens.

Author Note

The female author is Chair in Media, Culture and Environment in the Department of Sociology at the University of Cambridge.
