Description
The Soul at Work: From Alienation to Autonomy by Franco "Bifo" Berardi explores the new forms of alienation in our hyper-connected culture, where attention is under siege and private space is abolished. In this philosophical landscape, exploitation involves the mind, language, and emotions to generate value, while bodies disappear behind computer screens. Berardi examines how capital has overcome the dualism of body and soul by mobilizing creativity for its own benefit, leading to a workforce that is increasingly exploited in the digital sphere. He addresses these new forms of estrangement, drawing on his experience as a key member of the Italian Autonomist movement. In this book, Berardi calls for a "conspiracy of estranged people" to reclaim autonomy and resist the pressures of production. With its analysis of alienation and exploitation in the digital age, The Soul at Work offers a timely critique of our contemporary world.
