Capital Is Dead

Praise

“A provocative and compelling exploration of our digital world as it crashes towards ecological disaster. Counterintuitive, insightful, and imaginative, Capital is Dead is a timely reminder that there are things worse than capitalism—and we may just be living through them.”
– Nick Srnicek, author of Platform Capitalism

“A feral form of commodification walks among us. Whether it is feasting on the remains of capital or hunting on its behalf is a question McKenzie Wark is perfectly equipped to investigate. Consider this your exploratory field guide to a new mode of production.”
– Kate Crawford, Distinguished Research Professor and cofounder of the AI Now Institute, New York University

“McKenzie Wark’s call for an experimental, vulgar form of revolutionary approach to digital commodification is a challenging read, full of provocative observation.”
– Andy Hedgecock, Morning Star

“Wark has long been a brilliant scholar of Marxism, Situationism and Poststructuralism, rewriting the canon of critical theory.”
– Dave Beech, Art Monthly

“Thoughtful and compelling.”
– Garrett Pierman, Marx & Philosophy

“Wark takes a flamethrower to these ideas through a reading of Marx that burns away the metaphors of phantasmagorical fetishes, such as the commodity form, the spectacle, and false consciousness, that have occupied much critical theory to date.”
– Vince Carducci, Popmatters
