@ is for Activism: Dissent, Resistance and Rebellion in a Digital Culture
This book gathers a full spectrum of thought on the philosophy of technology and the political philosophy of resistance. These are articulated with a complex reading of modern digital networks and computing, requiring the mastery of very distinct theories and bodies of work, alongside an analysis of extensive recent global social and political movements. The concept of the ‘quasi-autonomous recognition network’ is developed; this is ‘particularly extensive’ and ‘complex’, articulating interdisciplinary frameworks into a single original concept. There are seven distinct chapters all offering new elements, contributing to this theory, and exploring its implications.
