Description

The Cybernetic Hypothesis by Tiqqun presents a provocative analysis of cybernetics as a fable of late capitalism. This early text from Tiqqun offers tools for resistance against the entropy that threatens living beings, machines, and societies. Cybernetics is seen as the latest master fable, welcomed at a certain crisis juncture in late capitalism. The authors argue that this concept has led to the reduction of humanity to manageable information packets, resulting in a disturbing trend. Tiqqun imagines an unbearable disturbance to a System that can only take so much: desertion, destituent gestures, guerrilla attacks, and wickedness. This book is not for those seeking straightforward solutions but rather for readers looking for a counter-strategy. It presents a strategic vision of challenging the dominant system, making it a valuable resource for those seeking to engage with the complexities of our "technical" present.
