The internet is perhaps the defining technological advance of the
last fifty years. It has opened up a new world of possibilities,
but what if it also represents an existential threat to humanity?
That is the alarming possibility raised by computer scientist
Jaron Lanier. He is no tech-phobic sensationalist; he is a
Silicon Valley insider who was a hugely influential pioneer in
Virtual Reality and a consultant to some of the biggest tech
giants. In what ways are we sowing the seeds of our own
destruction?
