The Future of the Spectacle ⦠or How the West Learned to Stop Worrying
   and Love the Reality Police
   "If you want a vision of the future, donât imagine âa boot stamping on
   a human face â for ever,â as Orwell suggested in 1984. Instead, imagine
   that human face staring mesmerized into the screen of some kind of
   nifty futuristic device on which every word, sound, and image has been
   algorithmically approved for consumption by the Defense Advanced
   Research Projects Agency (âDARPAâ) and its âinnovation ecosystemâ of
   âacademic, corporate, and governmental partners.â
   The screen of this futuristic device will offer a virtually unlimited
   range of ânon-divisiveâ and âhate-freeâ content, none of which will
   falsify or distort the âtruth,â or in any way deviate from âreality.â
   Western consumers will finally be free to enjoy an assortment of news,
   opinion, entertainment, and educational content (like this Guardian
   podcast about a man who gave birth, or MSNBCâs latest bombshell about
   Donald Trumpâs secret Russian oligarch backers) without having their
   enjoyment totally ruined by discord-sowing alternative journalists like
   Aaron Maté or satirists like myself.
   âFake newsâ will not appear on this screen. All the news will be
   âauthentic.â DARPA and its partners will see to that. You wonât have to
   worry about being âinfluencedâ by Russians, Nazis, conspiracy
   theorists, socialists, populists, extremists, or whomever. Such Persons
   of Malicious Intent will still be able to post their content (because
   of âfreedom of speechâ and all that stuff), but they will do so down in
   the sewers of the Internet where normal consumers wonât have to see it.
   Anyone who ventures down there looking for it (i.e., such âdivisiveâ
   and âpolarizingâ content) will be immediately placed on an official
   DARPA watchlist for âpotential extremists,â or âpotential white
   supremacists,â or âpotential Russians.â
