The New Dark Age by James Bridle

Bridle’s New Dark Age documents the paradoxical nature of how computational technologies have affected individuals and societies. Explain what Bridle means by ‘New Dark Age’ and analyze some of the examples he gives in support of this concept. Assess Bridle’s arguments and weigh in. The last third of the essay should be your own personal assessment of media and technology. Do Bridle’s arguments persuade you, or do you disagree? Where and when do your views overlap or diverge? Use examples from your own experience if you wish.
