The Revenge of the Real envisions a new positive biopolitics that
recognises that how populations govern themselves is literally a
matter of life and death. We are grappling with multiple
interconnected dilemmas - climate change, pandemics, the tensions
between the individual and society - all of which have to be
addressed on a planetary scale. Even when separated, we are still
enmeshed. Can the world govern itself differently? If so, what
models and philosophies are needed? Bratton argues that, instead of
thinking of technology as something that happens to society, we
must see how it can form the basis of a politics of infrastructure,
knowledge, and direct intervention. He urges us to reconsider
questions of "surveillance" in the face of necessary testing and
care. He asks what did the "mask wars" reveal about the destructive
nature of individualism as the basis of sovereignty? The book
proposes that it is time to transform how we live, work and thrive.
Rethinking governance means rethinking how we interact with each
other as a global population, and how we ensure our obligations to
each other. For this, we should build a society based in a new
rationality of inclusion, care and foresight.
