Behind the Silicon Curtain: The Seductions of Work in a Lonely Era
Dennis Hayes
“Explores the alarming silence about toxic Orwellian ‘clean’ rooms and why unions don’t organize their workers; how the work-centered code of the new professional predisposes an entire generation to self-serving and self-destructive lifestyle enclaves; why the computer worker is eminently corruptible by technology, despite the ‘cyberpunk’ antiauthoritarian trappings of teenage hackers. Isolated by structured programming techniques, and at military sites by a gulag of security clearances, computer workers ignore the social implications of their work.”
