Release Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the very near future, “smart” technologies and “big data” will allow us to
make large-scale and sophisticated interventions in politics, culture, and
everyday life. Technology will allow us to solve problems in highly original
ways and create new incentives to get more people to do the right thing. But how
will such “solutionism” affect our society, once deeply political, moral, and
irresolvable dilemmas are recast as uncontroversial and easily manageable
matters of technological efficiency? What if some such problems are simply vices
in disguise? What if some friction in communication is productive and some
hypocrisy in politics necessary? The temptation of the digital age is to fix
everything—from crime to corruption to pollution to obesity—by digitally
quantifying, tracking, or gamifying behavior. But when we change the motivations
for our moral, ethical, and civic behavior we may also change the very nature of
that behavior. Technology, Evgeny Morozov proposes, can be a force for
improvement—but only if we keep solutionism in check and learn to appreciate the
imperfections of liberal democracy. Some of those imperfections are not
accidental but by design.

Arguing that we badly need a new, post-Internet way to debate the moral
consequences of digital technologies, To Save Everything, Click Here warns
against a world of seamless efficiency, where everyone is forced to wear Silicon
Valley’s digital straitjacket.
