ReviewsReseñas: «Jaron Lanier es un genio.».- Sunday Times «Mezcla sabiduría profética con una simple practicidad. Lectura esencial.».- The New York Times «El título lo dice todo... Lanier aboga por desanclarse de las redes sociales, que fomentan la adicción y la anomia y en general nos hacen sentir peor y más temerosos el uno del otro y del mundo. El experimento podría ser útil, aunque oscurecerá los corazones de los señores oscuros, un argumento ganador por sí mismo.».- Kirkus Reviews
SynopsisUn brillante manifiesto que llama a la acción para comenzar a reinventar Internet. ¿Te cuesta imaginar una vida sin redes sociales? ¿Y si te dieran 10 argumentos explicando la toxicidad de sus efectos? En este libro, Jaron Lanier nos explica con una contundencia abrumadora como las redes sociales, al desplegar una vigilancia constante y manipular el inconsciente de sus usuarios, nos están convirtiendo en personas rencorosas, tristes, asustadizas, poco empáticas, aisladas y triviales. Si quieres una vida más feliz, un mundo más justo y pacífico, o simplemente la oportunidad de pensar por ti mismo sin ser monitoreado e influenciado por las corporaciones más ricas de la historia, lo mejor que puedes hacer es cancelar tus cuentas. Ahora. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A timely call-to-arms from a Silicon Valley pioneer. You might have trouble imagining life without your social media accounts, but virtual reality pioneer Jaron Lanier insists that we're better off without them. In Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now , Lanier, who participates in no social media, offers powerful and personal reasons for all of us to leave these dangerous online platforms. Lanier's reasons for freeing ourselves from social media's poisonous grip include its tendency to bring out the worst in us, to make politics terrifying, to trick us with illusions of popularity and success, to twist our relationship with the truth, to disconnect us from other people even as we are more "connected" than ever, to rob us of our free will with relentless targeted ads. How can we remain autonomous in a world where we are under continual surveillance and are constantly being prodded by algorithms run by some of the richest corporations in history that have no way of making money other than being paid to manipulate our behavior? How could the benefits of social media possibly outweigh the catastrophic losses to our personal dignity, happiness, and freedom? Lanier remains a tech optimist, so while demonstrating the evil that rules social media business models today, he also envisions a humanistic setting for social networking that can direct us toward a richer and fuller way of living and connecting with our world., Un brillante manifiesto que llama a la acci n para comenzar a reinventar Internet.
