Refusing the digital world of late capitalism 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. Scorched Earth surveys the wrecking of a
living world by the internet complex and its devastation of
communities and their capacities for mutual support. This polemic
by the author of 24/7 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.
