Networked platforms have replaced the factories of the industrial age. Traditional standards of production, work and value are currently being reconfigured. Even our understanding of social values, aesthetics and culture is increasingly shaped by the new paradigms of digital economy.

Ursula Huws ties together disparate economic, cultural, and political phenomena of the last few decades to form a provocative narrative about the shape of the global capitalist economy at present. She examines the way that advanced information and communications technology has opened up new fields of capital accumulation: in culture and the arts, in the privatization of public services, and in the commodification of human sociality by way of mobile devices and social networking. These trends are in turn accompanied by the dramatic restructuring of work arrangements, opening the way for new contradictions and new forms of labor solidarity and struggle around the planet.… | more…

On the tube speeding across London to my friend’s wedding, I considered the wasteful expense of a dozen wedding receptions I’ve attended before – rammed with jetlagged relatives, screaming kids, and an exhausted couple. I pondered the appeal of being married in my pyjamas. As I arrive at the North London flat, my friend ushered me into her living room where I joined a trio of friends of the bride. We squeezed onto the crowded couch after being welcomed by the couple’s overexcited Rhodesian Ridgeback.

We have now entered a period…when new waves of commodification set in motion in earlier periods are reaching maturity. The new commodities have been generated by drawing into the market even more aspects of life that were previously outside the money economy, or at least that part of it that generates a profit for capitalists.

They include biology, art and culture, public services, and sociality.… | more…

It took me two years to read the 216 pages in Eric Steinhart’s book, Your Digital Afterlives: Computational Theories of Life after Death.
