Description

A Hacker Manifesto explores the emergence of a new class responsible for shaping the digital world. This book delves into the complex relationship between creators and owners of information, highlighting the tensions between those who produce and those who possess. McKenzie Wark draws on Marxist thought to examine the implications of globalization and cyber space on social conflict. He argues that the widespread revolt against commodified information holds a utopian promise for a new progressive class. The author's systematic restatement of Marxist thought offers a unique perspective on the intersection of technology, culture, and power.
