This book uses a mix of “activity book” games and puzzles, social awareness bumper stickers, advertisements, billboards, posters and re-imagined old school videogame screenshots that deconstruct the impenetrable façade of government policy making, and help promote critical thinking through interactive play. A unique book for hungry minds.
If someone were to ask you to do something; if there were even the smallest chance of it injuring your child – you would say; “No, I won’t gamble with the life of my child.” But when technologies inherently risk all life on earth – you are willing to take that small chance; for a small benefit.
If words like “Extinction,” and “Apocalypse” are written too big for anything but videogames and movies: you need to step back a bit.
We now have the power to do incalculable things — and we have authorities who are eager to use that power.
Government isn’t impersonal; it’s personal. It’s a matter of life and death. . . January 15, 2022.
There are many ways you could answer that question:
1.) The path is straightforward: it just goes through places they want to avoid – and they don’t want to encourage that sort of thinking. 2.) To get the people used to less of everything – and control them more. 3.) They could never get the funding from government and industry. 4.) AI is only good for totaling up things at the “check out” counter. 5.) Politicians are looking to emerging technologies for the magic bullet. Sure it’s risky – but if they can’t have the world: what good is it? 6.) “Doctor, it hurts when I do this.” “Then stop doing it.” — Of course; there are some superior people who will ask: “Who do you mean by ‘they’?” It’s the sort of superiority that couples “surprised” and “deceased” halfway through the movie.
