In this highly readable and thought-provoking work, Nick
Dyer-Witheford assesses the relevance of Marxism in our time and
demonstrates how the information age, far from transcending the
historic conflict between capital and its laboring subjects,
constitutes the latest battleground in their encounter.
Dyer-Witheford maps the dynamics of modern capitalism, showing how
capital depends for its operations not just on exploitation in the
immediate workplace, but on the continuous integration of a whole
series of social sites and activities, from public health and
maternity to natural resource allocation and the geographical
reorganization of labor power. He also shows how these sites and
activities may become focal points of subversion and insurgency, as
new means of communication vital for the smooth flow of capital
also permit otherwise isolated and dispersed points of resistance
to connect and combine with one another. Cutting through the
smokescreen of high-tech propaganda, Dyer-Witheford predicts the
advent of a reinvented, "autonomist" Marxism that will rediscover
the possibility of a collective, communist transformation of
society. Refuting the utopian promises of the information
revolution, he discloses the real potentialities for a new social
order in the form of a twenty-first-century communism based on the
common sharing of wealth.
