Beskrivning

For far too long, tech titans peddled promises of disruptive innovation - fabricating benefits and minimizing harms. The promise of quick and easy fixes overpowered a growing chorus of critical voices, driving a sea of private and public investments into increasingly dangerous, misguided, and doomed forms of disruption, with the public paying the price. But what's the alternative? Upgrades - evidence-based, incremental change. Instead of continuing to invest in untested, high-risk innovations, constantly chasing outsized returns, upgraders seek a more proven path to proportional progress. This book dives deep into some of the most disastrous innovations of recent years - the metaverse, cryptocurrency, home surveillance, and AI, to name a few - while highlighting some of the unsung upgraders pushing real progress each day. Timely and corrective, Move Slow and Upgrade pushes us past the baseless promises of innovation, towards realistic hope.

Recensioner i media

'In this wise and timely book, Evan Selinger and Albert Fox Cahn offer an incisive critique of the 'move fast and break things' ideology of innovation that has done such harm to society in recent years. But they do something more: They provide a practical alternative, an approach to technological progress that aims not to disrupt people's lives but to make them richer and more fulfilling.' Nicholas Carr, author of Superbloom and The Shallows
