“As the programs gain more sway over us—shaping the way we work, the information we see, the routes we travel, our interactions with others—they become a form of remote control."
“Unlike robots or drones, we have the freedom to reject the software’s instructions and suggestions. It’s difficult, though, to escape their influence. When we launch an app, we ask to be guided—we place ourselves in the machine’s care.” (Nicolas Carr, The Glass Cage: Automation and Us, W.W. Norton & Company, New York, 2014, p. 204)
