Description

Dread Facing Futureless Futures by David Theo Goldberg is a thought-provoking analysis of our current social climate. A pervasive sense of suspicion and surveillance has taken hold, with many feeling like they're walking on a tightrope, one misstep away from losing their rights or security. Goldberg argues that tracking-capitalism is the root cause of this gnawing feeling, stripping back to the fundamental mapping of our movements, networks, and digitally mediated lives. This transformation of people into harvestable data has far-reaching implications for our social fabric, fraying the seams of solidarity and sociality needed to resist it. The book offers a critical apparatus for interrogating the politics of our time, proposing a creative politics as a countermeasure to the social life of dread.
