{"product_id":"9783031073847","title":"Marx, Alienation and Techno-Capitalism","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this book, translated into English for the first time, Lelio Demichelis takes on a modern perspective of the concept\/process of alienation. This concept-much more profound and widespread today than first described and denounced by Marx-has largely been forgotten and erased. Using the characters of Narcissus, Pygmalion and Prometheus, the author reinterprets and updates Marx, Nietzsche, Anders, Foucault and, in particular, critical theory and the Frankfurt School views on an \u003ci\u003eadministered society \u003c\/i\u003e(where everything is \u003ci\u003eautomated\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eengineered\u003c\/i\u003e, manifest today in algorithms, AI, machine learning and social networking) showing that, in a world where old and new forms of alienation come together, man is increasingly led to delegate (i.e. alienate) sovereignty, freedom, responsibility and the awareness of being alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 1.
