Recent posthuman philosophies, human-computer interface studies,
and technology-inspired biopolitical discourses and practices are
reinventing and reimagining loneliness in different communities.
Cloneliness: The Reproduction of Loneliness takes a cross-cultural
approach to loneliness by examining 20th-century artistic
expressions and examinations of loneliness in the context of more
recent global expressions grounded in social networks, virtual
reality, the biopolitical commons, academic credentialization and
such practices as Hikikomori. Newer forms of loneliness, pushed by
the algorithms of biopolitical capitalism, result in what this
books calls "cloneliness." Michael O'Sullivan plots the
transformation in loneliness in literature and philosophy in
readings that take us from Henry James and such classic works as
Frank O'Connor's The Lonely Voice and Richard Yates's Eleven Kinds
of Loneliness to more recent expressions in such writers as David
Foster Wallace, Yiyun Li, and Sayaka Murata. Michael O'Sullivan
argues that cloneliness as an institutional practice of
reproduction in society nurtures, normalizes, and reproduces
loneliness in order to create subjects who are more willing to
accept ideologies of competition, "extreme individualism," and the
stresses of being "interconnected loners."
