The Cultural Logic of Computation

To a large degree my concern is the "the recent left-liberal adoption of computational evangelism fails to offset the profoundly authoritarian bent of computationalism, so that radical democratization only appears likely if one avoids looking at the computational boon to centralized power."
-David Golumbia, media studies professor at the University of Virginia, The Cultural Logic of Computation, 2009

computationalism, per Golumbia, is the phenomenon of using computers’ binary processing as the template for rational thought in general
