In this radical and visionary new book, McKenzie Wark argues that
the all-pervasive presence of data in our networked society has
given rise to a new mode of production, one not ruled over by
capitalists and their factories but by those who own and control
the flow of information. Yet, if this is not capitalism anymore,
could it be something worse? What if the world we're living in is
more dystopian than the techno utopias of the Silicon Valley
imagination? And, if this is the case, how do we find a way out?
Capital Is Dead offers not only the theoretical tools to analyse
this new world of information, but the ones to change it, too. A
follow-up to their groundbreaking A Hacker Manifesto, Wark takes us
on a tour of our information age. Drawing on the writings of the
Situationists and a range of contemporary theorists, they offer a
vast panorama of the contemporary condition and the classes that
control it.
