Don't fully agree with Evgeny Morozov's culture pessimism but he makes some good points in this article:
> It might even help bury some of the myths spun by Silicon Valley. Wouldnt it be nice if one day, told that Googles mission is to “organize the worlds information and make it universally accessible and useful,” we would finally read between the lines and discover its true meaning: “to monetize all of the worlds information and make it universally inaccessible and profitable”? With this act of subversive interpretation, we might eventually hit upon the greatest emancipatory insight of all: Letting Google organize all of the worlds information makes as much sense as letting Halliburton organize all of the worlds oil.
