Our fascination with [[algorithm]]s, [[big data]], [[artificial intelligence]] and [[The Singularity is Near - Book Review|exponentially accelerating technologisation]] leads us to believe we can [[Reductionism|reduce]] the world’s ''organisation'', and therefore its ''problems'', down to predictable, rationalisable, atomised units. | Our fascination with [[algorithm]]s, [[big data]], [[artificial intelligence]] and [[The Singularity is Near - Book Review|exponentially accelerating technologisation]] leads us to believe we can [[Reductionism|reduce]] the world’s ''organisation'', and therefore its ''problems'', down to predictable, rationalisable, atomised units that operate according to [[deterministic]] ''rules'', which can be managed by ''code''. | ||
