“A wunderkind of a newly resurgent and unprecedentedly readable German philosophy.”
—Stuart Jeffries, Guardian
“A combination of neoliberal ethics and ubiquitous data capture has brought about a fundamental transformation and expansion of capitalist power, beyond even the fears of the Frankfurt School. In this blistering critique, Byung-Chul Han shows how capitalism has now finally broken free of liberalism, shrinking the spaces of individuality and autonomy yet further. At the same time, Psychopolitics demonstrates how critical theory can and must be rejuvenated for the age of big data.”
—Will Davies
“How do we say we? It seems important. How do we imagine collective action, in other words, how do we imagine acting on a scale sufficient to change the social order? How seriously can or should one take the idea of freedom in the era of Big Data? There seems to be something drastically wrong with common ideas about what the word act means. Psychopolitics is a beautifully sculpted attempt to figure out how to mean action differently, in an age where humans are encouraged to believe that it’s possible and necessary to see everything.”
—Timothy Morton
“The new star of German philosophy.”
—El País
“What is new about new media? These are philosophical questions for Byung-Chul Han, and precisely here lies the appeal of his essays.”
—Die Welt
“In Psychopolitics, critique of the media and of capitalism fuse into the coherent picture of a society that has been both blinded and paralyzed by alien forces. Confident and compelling.”
—Spiegel Online
