Notes What Tech

Summary

Introduction:
The Mark Zuckerberg quote comes from an interview done for Y Combinator’s “How to Build a
Future”-series and can be found here: https://www.ycombinator.com/future/mark/
Franklin Foer spoke about what Silicon Valley’s business model does to our thinking in
conversation with Keith A. Spencer, the text of the interview can be found here:

how-algorithms-erode-free-will/
In 1995, Richard Barbrook and Andy Cameron endeavored to describe to describe “dotcom
neoliberalism” as “the California ideology,” an ideology which concerns some of the nexus this
book will deal with (https://www.metamute.org/editorial/articles/californian-ideology). I do
not use this term because, as will become clear, I do not think that the combination of counter
culture and Ayn Rand is as counterintuitive as Barbrook and Cameron thought it was. If
anything, the time that has elapsed since their essay has shown deep and troubling
compatibilities. Nevertheless, their presentation is very much worth checking out. Similarly, for
the conceptual underpinnings of tech’s regulatory capture since the early 2000s, see: Jonathan
Taplin, Move Fast and Break Things: How Facebook, Google, and Amazon Cornered Culture and
Undermined Democracy (New York: Hachette, 2017), 127f

The McLuhan-quote can be found in Marshall McLuhan, Understanding Media, ed. Terrence
Gordon (Berkeley: Gingko Press, 2017), 31

I owe my sense that algorithms, incentive structures and gamification are clearly intended to
push Uber and Lyft drivers towards something resembling full employment without being full
employees, from hours spent talking to individual drivers across the Bay Area, as well as
hanging out on online forums that cater to gig workers. For an incredibly brilliant on-the-ground
report and analysis of gamification and algorithms in rideshare apps, see Sarah Mason’s article
“Chasing the Pink” in Logic-magazine’s Play-issue (Issue 6, Winter 2018), pp. 17-32

Much has been written about Silicon Valley’s peculiar cult of personality. I recommend Sunny
Bains’s analysis (see for example: https://blog.oup.com/2019/03/theranos-cult-of-personality-
science-tech/), because she shows how this cult works in the actual operation of companies

This is because I find the observation that there is something “prophetic” or “messianic” and
therefore religious about the devotion such figures inspire on the whole unconvincing. Or, at
least, I don’t see why the connection to religion tells us anything that a sociology of the firm
doesn’t

The figure of the “thought leader” is explored in both its origins in the 60s counterculture and in
the fictions of Ayn Rand, by Satiajit Das, Extreme Money: Masters of the Universe and the Cult
of Risk (London: FT Publishing, 2011)

“Learn to code”: For a thoughtful but impassioned takedown of why “selling coding as a ticket
to economic salvation for the masses is dishonest,” see Basel Farag, “Please don’t learn to
code”: https://techcrunch.com/2016/05/10/please-dont-learn-to-code/
I take Stephen Adams’s point about Silicon Valley boosterism emerging from an attempt to
reverse a brain drain from the West to the East Coast of the United States from his article
“Regionalism in Stanford’s Contribution to the Rise of Silicon Valley,” Enterprise and Society,
Vol. 4, No.3 (September 2003), 521-543

Terry Winograd was Larry Page’s advisor when Page was pursuing a PhD at Stanford
(https://www.wired.com/2005/08/battelle/). It seems that a lot of the foundational work for
Google’s tech was done during this time. In 2001, Page and Brin wrote an academic paper on
PageRank, the algorithm behind Google’s search, and Winograd was listed as a fourth author

Chapter 3: Genius
White’s essay is quoted in Mimi Reisel Gladstein (editor), The Ayn Rand Companion (Westport:
Greenwood Press, 1984), 93

For background I have relied extensively on my colleague Jennifer Burns’s excellent Goddess of
the Market: Ayn Rand and the American Right (New York: Oxford University Press, 2009)

“How it was possible, in those graceless years of transition”: Ayn Rand, Anthem: I couldn’t help

Pixar’s Randianism has been the subject of much debate online. Director Brad Bird (Ratatouille,
The Incredibles, Tomorrowland, and Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol) has been strongly
identified with her ideas (A.O. Scott’s review of The Incredibles makes the care quite clearly),
although others have pushed back against this – here for instance is Emily VanDer Werff in Vox:
https://www.vox.com/culture/2018/6/27/17504376/brad-bird-incredibles-objectivist-ayn-rand

It’s curious that online commentary seem to regard identifying Randian elements in Bird’s films
as somehow criticisms – as opposed to simply ideas that, in children’s entertainment are indeed
unusual and fun to talk with kids about. As Mark Fischer and others have pointed out, though,
there are plenty of Pixar films with which Bird seems to have had no involvement, that
nevertheless make some fairly similar points. Rather than say that Pixar’s films are
straightforwardly objectivist, it might be better to say that they represent a typical Bay Area mix
of Rand’s ideas with counterculture tropes

Chapter 5: Desire
Cynthia Haven wrote an excellent biography of Girard: Evolution of Desire: A Life of René Girard
(Ann Arbor: Michigan State University Press, 2018). What emerges from Haven’s portrait is a
man whose philosophy (and its pronounced allergy to competition) made him an exceptionally
happy fellow traveler – not only was he unlikely to defend his philosophy from cooptation, he
was likely to welcome it to some extent. Haven’s insights are one reason why I focus on what
tech (and above all Thiel) made of Girard, not necessarily on what Girard did and intended

You can find the bonmot about a “bombastic redescription of orthodoxy” from Daniel Dennett’s

Joshua Gans, The Disruption Dilemma (Cambridge: MIT Press, 2016)

For a classic articulation of modernity as a disruption of traditional lifecycles, see: Georg
Simmel, “The Metropolis and Mental Life,” in The Sociology of Georg Simmel, translated by Kurt
Wolf (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1950), 409-424. The idea of modern experience as one for
which “the experience of shock has become the norm” comes from Walter Benjamin, “On
Some Motifs in Baudelaire,” in The Writer of Modern Life: Essays on Charles Baudelaire,
translated by Michael Jennings (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2006), 177

Baudelaire’s poem is “Le Cygne” (“The Swan”), one of the most famous of his Flowers of Evil
(Les Fleurs du mal, 1857). It is one of the guiding texts for Benjamin’s investigation into
Baudelaire’s modernism, and can be found online here: https://fleursdumal.org/poem/220
The strange mix of modishness and outmodedness, the fact that modernity’s disruptiveness
always implies a surfeit of ruins, remainders, and relics, is the main theme – albeit never
expressed very straightforwardly – in Walter Benjamin’s monumental Arcades Project (Walter
Benjamin, The Arcades Project, translated Howard Eiland and Kevin McLaughlin (Cambridge:
Belknap, 1999), especially convolutes B, C, D, and I). For a thorough exploration of Benjamin’s
fragmentary work see: Susan Buck-Morss, The Dialectics of Seeing: Walter Benjamin and the
Arcades Project (Cambridge: MIT Press, 1991)

The passage from The Communist Manifesto can be found in many places (Karl Marx and
Friedrich Engels, Manifesto of the Communist Party, translated by Samuel Moore (Chicago:
Kerr, 1906), 17), but the translation is also available online here:
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/. The passage in
question also lends its title to Marshall Berman’s All That Is Solid Melts Into Air (New York:
Penuin, 1988), which represents an excellent and accessible summary of Marxist thought about
modernity and its impact on everyday experience

The classic overview of Schumpeter’s life and work seems to be Thomas K. McCraw, Prophet of
Innovation: Joseph Schumpeter and Creative Destruction (Cambridge: Belknap, 2007). I should
not that I diverge in my reading of Schumpeter from McCraw’s, at least when it comes to the
question of how Schumpeter viewed the future of capitalism

“The fundamental impulse that sets and keeps the capitalist engine in motion”: Joseph A

Schumpeter, Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy (New York: Harper & Brothers, 1942), 83

It’s pretty academic, but for the best overview of Heidegger’s concept of Gelassenheit and how
it is not just about a suspension of willing, but a suspension of “projection” into the future, see:
Bret W. Davis, Heidegger and the Will (Evanston: Northwestern University Press, 2007)

However, Davis elsewhere points out that Heidegger did not extend this idea of “letting go” (or,
as he puts it, “releasement”) to our relationship to technology – we’re not supposed to lean
into tech, instead tech is a form of willing from which we have to release ourselves. See: Bret
