Description
Digital Exposure: Postmodern Postcapitalism by Raphael Sassower is a thought-provoking exploration of how digital technologies are transforming the economic, social, and cultural landscapes in the postmodern era. Sassower examines the shift from traditional capitalism to what he describes as "postcapitalism," where digital media, virtual economies, and information technologies redefine concepts of labor, production, and value. In this book, Sassower critically engages with the promises and pitfalls of the digital age. He analyzes how digital exposure—through social media, surveillance, and data collection—reshapes notions of privacy, identity, and autonomy. At the same time, he investigates how digital platforms create new forms of economic exploitation and inequality, even as they open up possibilities for collaboration, democratization, and creative expression. Sassower situates his discussion within postmodern theory, drawing on thinkers like Baudrillard and Lyotard to critique the hyperreality and commodification inherent in digital culture. He also addresses the ethical and political challenges posed by the pervasive influence of technology on daily life and global capitalism. Digital Exposure offers a nuanced and accessible account of the complexities of our digital world, making it a valuable resource for readers interested in philosophy, political economy, media studies, and the future of capitalism in the digital era.
