What impact does our relentless fixation on gadgets have on the
struggle for new kinds of solidarity, political articulation and
intelligence? In this groundbreaking study, Joss Hands explores the
new political and social forces that are emerging in the age of
social media. Gadget Consciousness examines the transformation of
our consciousness as a historical political force in two senses: as
individual consciousness - in terms of sentience and will - and
also as class consciousness. Exploring a range of manifestations in
the digital commons, he investigates what forms digital solidarity
can take, and asks whether we can learn from the communisms of the
past and how might solidarity be manifested in the future? Today,
the ubiquity of networked gadgets offers exciting new opportunities
for social and political change, but also significant dangers of
alienation and stupefaction.
