The Reticular Society - Paperback

by Ian Alan Paul (Author), Serene Richards (Introduction by)

The Reticular Society theorizes the online colonization of everyday life, diagramming capitalist society's network form while searching for the means of abolishing it.

As capitalism's circuits of exploitation and domination invade each dimension of lived reality--integrating, isolating, and impoverishing all of what has been captured--The Reticular Society draws upon the thought of Guy Debord and the Situationist International in order to arm readers with the conceptual and creative artillery needed to tear open holes in our networked world. Each of the book's chapters sharpens the critical understanding of the waves of calculation and computation which sweep over the present in hopes of contributing to the insurgent project of dismantling and destituting their totalizing grip on life.
