Against the Machine: On the Unmaking of Humanity

內容簡介

內容簡介 一種難以名狀、卻無人不感受到的力量，正在重塑「人類」的意義。在Against the Machine中，被《華盛頓郵報》盛讚為「憤怒卻天賦異稟」的小說家、詩人與散文家Paul Kingsnorth，帶來一場既原創又令人不安的剖析：我們正被一個龐大的「科技—文化矩陣」所吞沒。Kingsnorth深刻揭示了「科技資本主義」的精神與經濟根源，並指出所謂的「進步」，如何扼殺了西方文明、摧毀了地球，甚至將人類塑造成「機器的倒影」。從第一次工業革命到人工智慧的崛起，他說明這場對人性的掏空早已佈局已久——如今，甚至連你的靈魂都岌岌可危。在「機器時代」，要保持真正的人性，需要付出努力。延續溫德爾．貝瑞（Wendell Berry）、雅克．艾盧爾（Jacques Ellul）、西蒙．韋伊（Simone Weil）等思想家的傳統，Kingsnorth提醒我們，身為人類所必須具備的，是：* 對權力的理性的懷疑，* 與土地、自然與傳承的連結，* 對精神世界的深切專注。 預言式、詩意且博學，Against the Machine是屬於這個科技時代的靈魂指南，也是獻給所有「異議者」的精神手冊。How a force that’s hard to name, but which we all feel, is reshaping what it means to be humanIn Against the Machine, “furiously gifted” (The Washington Post) novelist, poet, and essayist Paul Kingsnorth presents a wholly original—and terrifying—account of the technological-cultural matrix enveloping all of us. With masterful insight into the spiritual and economic roots of techno-capitalism, Kingsnorth reveals how the Machine, in the name of progress, has choked Western civilization, is destroying the Earth itself, and is reshaping us in its image. From the First Industrial Revolution to the rise of artificial intelligence, he shows how the hollowing out of humanity has been a long game—and how your very soul is at stake.It takes effort to remain truly human in the age of the Machine. Writing in the tradition of Wendell Berry, Jacques Ellul and Simone Weil, Kingsnorth reminds us what humanity requires: a healthy suspicion of entrenched power; connection to land, nature and heritage; and a deep attention to matters of the spirit. Prophetic, poetic, and erudite, Against the Machine is the spiritual manual for dissidents in the technological age.
