The spectre of digital capitalism is haunting the world. The so-called 
“AI boom” of the past few years has now taken centre stage in the public 
debate, scientific research, and in the political agendas of 
international institutions. As the Global North seems to have embarked 
on a relentless journey towards the digital restructuring of our 
societies, the digital transition has given rise to new problems 
regarding the societal and political implications of new technologies. 
Is a new form of digital capitalism emerging from the interplay of 
digital technology and pre-existing social relations? What is the direct 
impact of digital technology on human labour? How does this affect our 
life as a whole? And how is it revolutionising the public sphere? More 
urgently, what is the role of emancipatory politics in this scenario? 
The third edition of the Lake Como Summer School in Critical Theory of 
Society will gather scholars of renowned reputation to discuss these 
issues from different perspectives.
