Turn for the negative

After some resounding failures (or frauds) of overpromising tech startups such as Theranos (or WeWork), coupled with the stories around Facebook's role in the 2016 US election, including the larger part data plays in manipulating people, the narrative on tech has become gloomier and dystopian, including in the mainstream press. Zuckerberg is still a mythological figure but is far from being considered infaillable anymore. "The myth had been distorted; the idealistic, aspirational narratives had not borne out. The industry needed a new story."
