Against the Machine: On the Unmaking of Humanity

BasicBinding: Hardcover

Publisher: Thesis

ISBN: 0593850637 | EAN: 9780593850633

BasicBinding: Hardcover

Features: Bibliography, Index, Price on Product | Pages: 368

Annotation: "With masterful insight into the spiritual and economic roots of techno-capitalism, Kingsnorth reveals how the Machine, in the name of progress, has choked Western civilization, is destroying the Earth itself, and is reshaping us in its image. From the First Industrial Revolution to the rise of artificial intelligence, he shows how the hollowing out of humanity has been a long game--and how your very soul is at stake. It takes effort to remain truly human in the age of the Machine. Writing in the tradition of Wendell Berry, Jacques Ellul and Simone Weil, Kingsnorth reminds us what humanity requires: a healthy suspicion of entrenched power; connection to land, nature and heritage; and a deep attention to matters of the spirit. Prophetic, poetic, and erudite, Against the Machine is the spiritual manual for dissidents in the technological age"--

Annotation: Literary Nonfiction. CALIBAN AND THE WITCH is a history of the body in the transition to capitalism. Moving from the peasant revolts of the late Middle Ages to the witch-hunts and the rise of mechanical philosophy, Federici investigates the capitalist rationalization of social reproduction. She shows how the battle against the rebel body and the conflict between body and mind are essential conditions for the development of labor power and self-ownership, two central principles of modern social organization.

ISBN: 0553387707 | EAN: 9780553387704

BasicBinding: Hardcover

Features: Bibliography, Illustrated, Index, Price on Product | Pages: 336

Annotation: "From Wordle to Spelling Bee, we live in a time of word game mania. Crosswords, in particular, gained renewed popularity during the COVID-19 lockdown, when games became another kind of refuge. Today, 36 million Americans solve crosswords once a week or more, and nearly 23 million solve them daily. Yet, as longtime New Yorker crossword contributor Natan Last will tell you, the seemingly apolitical puzzle has never been more controversial. In recent years, popular puzzle makers like The New York Times ... have been challenged for the way they prioritize certain cultures and perspectives as either the norm (read: white and male) or obscure (everyone else). At the same time, the crossword has never been more democratic. A larger, younger, more tech-savvy, and solidaristic group of people have fallen in love with puzzle solving, ushering in a more inclusive rise to the kinds of people constructing them, challenging the very idea of them and, in fact, what 'normal' actually is"--

Annotation: "Even in the most desolate areas of American cities, evictions used to be rare. But today, most poor renting families are spending more than half of their income on housing, and eviction has become ordinary, especially for single mothers ... [In this book], Desmond provides a ground-level view of one of the most urgent issues facing America today.

Three or More Is a Riot: Notes on How We Got Here: 2012-2025

BasicBinding: Hardcover

Author: Cobb, Jelani

Publisher: One World

Date Published: 10-2025

ISBN: 059397820X | EAN: 9780593978207

BasicBinding: Hardcover

Features: Index, Price on Product | Pages: 496

Annotation: "From the moment that Trayvon Martin's senseless murder initiated the Black Lives Matter movement in 2014, America has been convulsed by new social movements--around guns, gender violence, sexual harrassment, race, policing, and on and on--and an equally powerful backlash that abetted the rise of the MAGA movement. In this punchy, powerful collection of dispatches, mostly published in The New Yorker, Jelani Cobb pulls the signal from the noise of this chaotic era. Cobb's work as a reporter takes readers to the front lines of sometimes violent conflict, and he uses his gifts as a critic and historian to crack open the meaning of it all. Through a stunning mélange of narrative journalism, criticism, and penetrating profiles, Cobb's writing captures the crises, characters, movements, and art of an era--and helps readers understand what might be coming next. Cobb has added new material to this collection--retrospective pieces that bring these stories up-to-date and tie them together, shaping these powerful short dispatches into a cohesive, epic narrative of one of the most consequential periods in recent American history."--Provided by publisher.
