Book Review: Infinite Detail, by Tim Maughan
“It’s not enough to just take power away from those in charge. If we don’t use it ourselves, they’ll just take it back.” — “Anika” in Tim Maughan’s Infinite Detail “Be careful what you wish for; you may get it.” — Everybody since the 2001 ape threw a jawbone into the air Let’s think awhile about tools and how we use them, and how they end up using us when we’re not careful. Like how the human-engineered maize plant has basically turned us into a slave race frantically devoted to propagating it, defending it, etc. Let’s think about revolutions and why they tend to fail.
