Eine Ausstellung von Menschen in und um eine Ausstellung in der sie sich alle, ebenso wie ich als Lesende, ständig bewegen, nie lange genug stehen bleiben um ihre Fassaden ind Abgründe vollständig zu erfassen, was so vielleicht auch besser ist.

What an incredible book. A poignant look at how and why bureaucracies are created and maintained, how they are a form of game that’s opposed to actual play, how each of us has a responsibility to actively imagine a better world and create the conditions under which it can come into existence, and a surprise analysis of Christopher Nolan’s film “The Dark Knight Rises” which (trust me) makes sense in this context.

A clear recommendation for anyone who wants to look critically at how we as a society run the world. It’s also not too dense (as opposed to some other political philosophy works) and written in a very approachable way.

I think I set myself for a little bit of a disappointment with this book by spending the weeks and months before reading it with a lot of the same ideas through articles and podcasts, so the book itself repeated a lot of the things I was already aware of, which isn’t the book’s fault.

It’s still a very good critical analysis of “AI” from an anti-fascist-perspective. Especially the chapters about the connections of “AI” to eugenics and about the politics of the original Luddites had a lot to offer for me, as well as the final chapter on constructing alternatives to current “AI”.

It s a good read and I’ll gladly recommend it.

Slow to get into and very difficult to keep track of all the characters during the first half but a great buildup to the finale and rewarding ending.

One of the most emotionally impactful books I've read, ever. Several times I had to put it down for a moment and just let the feelings it had dug up find their way through my brain to process.
