David Auerbach is a writer and software engineer who has worked for Google and Microsoft and teaches the history of computation. His new book, Meganets: How Digital Forms Beyond Our Control Commandeer Our Daily Lives and Inner Realities, argues that widespread concern about artificial intelligence is legitimate, but the problem is already all around us, with huge tech networks that no one is able to control. Auerbach defines a meganet as a persistent, evolving and opaque data network that heavily influences how people see the world.
