Publication of the essay Éloge du bug: Être libre à l'époque du numérique

"'It just works,'" a smartphone ad tells us. "It's simple, it's intuitive. There's no need to ask questions. The digital shift we're experiencing today largely corresponds to a widespread delegation of political, ethical, cultural, and social choices to private operators who have quickly been able to offer "functional solutions" for just about everything."

Éloge du bug: Être libre à l'époque du numérique, an essay by Marcello Vitali-Rosati, will be published on May 7th in paper and online formats.
