Explaining the BigTechtopia

The BigTechtopia is an independently run project which provides an ongoing explanation of the systematic attempt from the upper echelons of industry and government, teamed up with the major technology companies, to establish a totalitarian restructuring of our planet.

Just as we moved from the farms to factories, on to the mass production in new industries like steel, oil and electricity, before the digital revolution in the 1960s, we are now entering the fourth industrial revolution where the gap between the digital, physical and biological worlds is shrinking, and technology is changing faster than ever.

The problem, however, is in who lies at the forefront of this shift, who is coding this ever more digitalized world, and what its implications are.

Books such as George Orwell’s 1984 and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World or, more recently, the TV show Black Mirror, which all depict a dystopian future with stringent technology at the forefront have captured the imagination of the general public in various periods of time. And while some perceive the above as a form of entertainment or a wildly exaggerated forecast of the future, the impact they continue to have is due to the resonance of truth that one can intuitively feel and see unravelling before their very eyes.

Over one third of the world’s population now owns a smartphone, through which just about every bit of our daily lives is monitored, quantified and stored by a handful of companies. Never before has such a large share of the global populace been at the mercy of so few.

Through algorithms that have been modelled to specifically favour particular belief systems and narratives, the spectrum of information, and thus the capacity of independent thinking, is shrinking at a frightening rate.

The growing power and influence that tech companies exert can no longer be passed off as the mere workings of private impartial organizations. The ability to ban and erase individuals from the digital landscape under vague laws are powers that dictatorial governments of the past could have only dreamed of, and this has global implications.

Due to their alliance with the mainstream media whose ideologies match, they remain free to subtly alter the mindset of mankind. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

The situation we find ourselves in today is only made possible by the compliance of a generation which is either unaware, unbothered or believes it is immune to the possibility of new dictatorships coming in to power, particularly via this method.

The urgency of the task at hand, to raise information and begin to take measures against such a future, while the endgame may take some time to reach, the tipping point which would make its reversal improbable is approaching.

Tech itself is not the enemy. The problem lies in who is coding our future and for what means. If used appropriately, we could be freed from the most pressing issues of our time and create a prosperous future. The sleight of hand being performed by the aforementioned crux of power will all be unravelled.

The fourth industrial revolution is in full swing and if we don’t wake up to the magnitude of this problem, there may not be a way back.
