Literature review

Forever in the listicles labyrinth

In Elias Hirschl's latest book, digital simulacra are produced endlessly: A content farm in which Algorithms, AI, clicks and arbitrary “likes” are everyday office life. His digital dystopia is so grotesquely funny that the abysses are barely noticeable. A must-read, and freely available in our eLibrary “Onleihe”.
