Clickbaiting and trolling. Makes it hard to see that the article writer has a couple decent points mixed in there. The suprising thing is, the article’s written by a “real” author and not just a publicist or LLM. I suspect the Telegraph editors made him write it that way.
Bit harsh re: clickbaiting etc.
OK maybe that was harsh… the article’s better than the title suggests though.
Maybe… but the article title refers to “the greatest sci-fi novel of all time” which is obviously meant as bait for arguments, and subtitles it with “why has Silicon Valley defied its warnings?” which is pretty sensationalist. In contrast, the article is very thoughtful and could almost be submitted to an academic journal.
