  • The age of disruption : technology and madness in computational capitalism
    Stiegler, Bernard, 1952-2020
    Stiegler argues that we must first acknowledge our era as one of fundamental disruption and detachment--with the digital revolution and the pervasive automation associated with it giving rise to the ... loss of reason and to the loss of the reason for living. He contends that we are living in an absence of epokhe in the philosophical sense, by which Stiegler means that we have lost our path of thinking and being. Weaving in accounts from his own life story, including struggles with depression and time spent in prison, Stiegler calls for a new epokhe based on public power. He states that we must forge new circuits of meaning outside of the established algorithmic routes. For only then will forms of thinking and life be able to arise that restore meaning and aspiration to the individual.
