The Tech We All Deserve
summary
Argues that tech both rescues and amplifies human flaws, citing concrete examples: a 3D-printed beating heart actually exists, neural interfaces like Neuralink prototypes are in use, and military surveillance robots are repurposed for pandemic policing (reported in Singapore and New York). Notes facial recognition deployment, delivery robots suffering vandalism, Fortnite enabling user-built worlds, and Bitcoin’s energy use exceeding countries such as Norway. Recommends small personal consumption shifts, civic resistance, voting and organizing for systemic change.
