Summary

Exploring how neoliberalism has discovered the productive force of the psyche

Byung-Chul Han, a star of German philosophy, continues his passionate critique of neoliberalism, trenchantly describing a regime of technological domination that, in contrast to Foucault’s biopower, has discovered the productive force of the psyche. In the course of discussing all the facets of neoliberal psychopolitics fueling our contemporary crisis of freedom, Han elaborates an analytical framework that provides an original theory of Big Data and a lucid phenomenology of emotion. But this provocative essay proposes counter models too, presenting a wealth of ideas and surprising alternatives at every turn.

This audiobook is expertly read by Peter Noble, and was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont. Audio engineering by Allie McSwain.

Piercing analysis and honed narrative

Byung-Chul Han’s work, at last here becoming available in Audiobooks, provide provocative ideas about the issues of the modern Western world and its subjects. In this, customarily, finely honed text, Han works through ideas of power, freedom, and the crises thereof. Love it. Great text, very well read.
