Scorched Earth Av Jonathan Crary

<b>Refusing the digital world of late capitalism </b><br><br>In this uncompromising essay, Jonathan Crary presents the obvious but unsayable reality: our “digital age” is synonymous with the disastrous terminal stage of global capitalism and its financialisation of social existence, mass impoverishment, ecocide, and military terror. <i>Scorched Earth</i> surveys the wrecking of a living world by the internet complex and its devastation of communities and their capacities for mutual support.<br><br>This polemic by the author of <i>24/7</i> dismantles the presumption that social media could be an instrument of radical change and contends that the networks and platforms of transnational corporations are intrinsically incompatible with a habitable earth or with the human interdependence needed to build egalitarian post-capitalist forms of life.
