- Summary:
- "A rigorous and mind-blowing account of the dynamics of capitalism today through an in-depth exposition of software, speculative finance, and the highest scales of arbitrage. It's been called provocative, emancipatory, cutting-edge, and even a bit caustic. Perhaps it is provocative because it begins to depart from Marxism as-we-know-it, and, with all the relevant necessary reverences applied, it attempts, dare I say, to step forward from the discourse of labour & production-not that what follows is somehow simpler, because it's not. Yet as the authors contend, the world has already moved on, and capital, that same old capital, continues to do what it has always done, at myriad different scales, and in myriad worlds. Capital may well have already broken free of us, and so where exactly does that leave you, homocapitalus? Marek Poliks is a Minneapolis-based researcher in the philosophy of technology, especially with respect to deep learning. Roberto Alonso Trillo is a theorist and artist whose work spans cultural theory, media philosophy, and experimental sound based in Hong Kong. Together, they host the podcast Disintegrator."-- provided by distributor.
