Context
"This is not an argument for a new phase of capitalism, but rather a cosmological, retroactive take on the continuity of capital as an inhuman algorithm modelled on finance and software rather than factory and labor, manifesting in the contemporary topology of the spongy and blob-like digital business formations—this is bound to be controversial, but it is worth contending with. So love it or hate it, Exocapitalism is original, enlightening and infuriating: a book to be reckoned with."
— Tiziana Terranova [1]
Description
From the publisher:
"This book is provocative because it is the proverbial elephant in the system, but it is nonetheless rigorous, and written in good spirit—this isn’t a downer, this is cleaning up after a bender, after a 500-year drug-accelerated romance with a creature that counts its age in millennia. So what is left in this wasteland? Well, Arbitrage for one; other monumental processes like Lifting, Holding, Dragging and Folding roam around above our heads.
These two researchers have an enormous insight into contemporary economics, technology and finance, and yet they write as musicians, as the poetic theorists of antiquity, which, for us, makes this text epic. With Charles Mudede and Alex Quicho holding Exocapitalism down, it looks as though Marek Poliks & Roberto Alonso Trillo are here to stay."
