Technofeudalism
Yanis Varoufakis · 2024
“Blending intellectual memoir, history, and economic and technological history, Varoufakis creates an intimate atmosphere that is a genuine pleasure to read ... It’s hard to read this book and deny its power ... illuminating.” - The Washington Post In a revelatory and pathbreaking work, the #1 international bestselling economist opens our eyes to the new power that is reshaping our lives and the world . . . “The Thucydides of our time.” —Jeffrey Sachs Big tech has replaced capitalism's twin pillars—markets and profit—with its platforms and rents. With every click and scroll, we labor like serfs to increase its power. Welcome to technofeudalism . . . Perhaps we were too distracted by the pandemic, or the endless financial crises, or the rise of TikTok. But under cover of them all, a new and more exploitative system has been taking hold. Insane sums of money that were supposed to re-float our economies after the crash of 2008 went to big tech instead. With it they funded the construction of their private cloud fiefdoms and privatized the internet. Technofeudalism says Yanis Varoufakis, is the new power that is reshaping our lives and the world, and is the greatest current threat to the liberal individual, to our efforts to avert climate catastrophe—and to democracy itself. It also lies behind the new geopolitical tensions, especially the New Cold War between the United States and China. Drawing on stories from Greek myth and pop culture, from Homer to Mad Men, Varoufakis explains this revolutionary transformation: how it enslaves our minds, how it rewrites the rules of global power, and, ultimately, what it will take overthrow it.
How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy
Jenny Odell · 2019
** A New York Times Bestseller **<br/><br/>NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY: Time • The New Yorker • NPR • GQ • Elle • Vulture • Fortune • Boing Boing • The Irish Times • The New York Public Library • The Brooklyn Public Library<br/><br/>"A complex, smart and ambitious book that at first reads like a self-help manual, then blossoms into a wide-ranging political manifesto."—Jonah Engel Bromwich, The New York Times Book Review<br/><br/>One of President Barack Obama's "Favorite Books of 2019"<br/>Porchlight's Personal Development & Human Behavior Book of the Year<br/><br/>In a world where addictive technology is designed to buy and sell our attention, and our value is determined by our 24/7 data productivity, it can seem impossible to escape. But in this inspiring field guide to dropping out of the attention economy, artist and critic Jenny Odell shows us how we can still win back our lives.<br/><br/>Odell sees our attention as the most precious—and overdrawn—resource we have. And we must actively and continuously choose how we use it. We might not spend it on things that capitalism has deemed important … but once we can start paying a new kind of attention, she writes, we can undertake bolder forms of political action, reimagine humankind’s role in the environment, and arrive at more meaningful understandings of happiness and progress.<br/><br/>Far from the simple anti-technology screed, or the back-to-nature meditation we read so often, How to do Nothing is an action plan for thinking outside of capitalist narratives of efficiency and techno-determinism. Provocative, timely, and utterly persuasive, this book will change how you see your place in our world.
Poética da relação
Édouard Glissant, Eduardo Jorge, Marcela Vieira · 2021
Édouard Glissant (1928-2011) foi um pensador da diáspora que elaborou um impactante projeto filosófico e poético para refletir sobre os efeitos da colonização. Para isso, liberou-se das matrizes conceituais do Ocidente, abrindo espaço para que o sujeito afrodiaspórico se tornasse protagonista da análise de sua própria experiência estética e cultural. Um dos seus mais importantes conceitos é o da Relação, um processo de contaminação de todas as diferenças reunidas sob as correntes da escravidão e do colonialismo. A Relação pressupõe conhecer o abismo dessa experiência, pois é a partir dela e da abertura da imaginação que se dá a partilha de mundos unidos pela própria separação. Poética da Relação, ensaio filosófico atravessado por uma linguagem poética, se tornou uma referência em todo o mundo, além de título essencial da bibliografia de Glissant, autor de uma obra colossal, englobando ensaios, poesia, romances e teatro. Prefácio de Ana Kiffer e Edimilson de Almeida Pereira. A capa tem imagem do artista visual brasileiro Arjan Martins, acompanhada de texto do curador Paulo Miyada.
