拒绝晚期资本主义的数字世界
在这篇毫不妥协的文章中，乔纳森·克雷（Jonathan Crary）提出了一个显而易见但无法言喻的现实：我们的“数字时代”是全球资本主义灾难性终结阶段的代名词，它将社会存在、大规模贫困、生态灭绝和军事恐怖金融化。《焦土》调查了互联网复合体对一个生活世界的破坏，以及它对社区的破坏和它们相互支持的能力。
《24/7》作者的这一论战驳斥了社交媒体可能成为彻底变革工具的假设，并认为跨国公司的网络和平台本质上与宜居地球不相容，也与建立平等的后资本主义生活形式所需的人类相互依赖不相容。
Scorched Earth: Beyond the Digital Age to a Post-Capitalist World
Refusing the digital world of late capitalism
In this uncompromising essay, Jonathan Crary presents the obvious but unsayable reality: our “digital age” is synonymous with the disastrous terminal stage of global capitalism and its financialisation of social existence, mass impoverishment, ecocide, and military terror. Scorched Earth surveys the wrecking of a living world by the internet complex and its devastation of communities and their capacities for mutual support.
This polemic by the author of 24/7 dismantles the presumption that social media could be an instrument of radical change and contends that the networks and platforms of transnational corporations are intrinsically incompatible with a habitable earth or with the human interdependence needed to build egalitarian post-capitalist forms of life.
