Mon Sep 03 17:35:37 GMT 2018
New book on changing relationship between technology, politics, and
capitalism…
*Neurocapitalism. Technological Mediation and Vanishing Lines*
Giorgio Griziotti
Foreword by Tiziana Terranova
Translated by Jason Francis McGimsey
Analyzes the changing politics of technology, charting out possibilities
for autonomous cooperation
Technological change is ridden with conflicts, bifurcations and
unexpected developments. Neurocapitalism takes us on an extraordinarily
original journey through the effects that cutting-edge technology has on
cultural, anthropological, socio-economic and political dynamics. Today,
neurocapitalism shapes the technological production of the commons,
transforming them into tools for commercialization, automatic control,
and crisis management.
But all is not lost: in highlighting the growing role of General
Intellect’s autonomous and cooperative production through the
development of the commons and alternative and antagonistic uses of new
technologies, Giorgio Griziotti proposes new ideas for the organization
of the multitudes of the new millennium.
“it is rare to find a book… which is capable of combining a competent
technical viewpoint with a coherent theoretical perspective… animated by
a great political passion nourished by the ‘common learning’ of
collective self-training.” – Tiziana Terranova
Bio: Giorgio Griziotti was one of the first digital engineers to
graduate from Milan’s Politecnico University. His participation in the
autonomous movements in Italy in the 1970s forced him to gain most of
his professional experience in exile. He has an experience of more than
thirty years in large international IT projects. Today he is an
independent researcher and member of the collective Effimera.
