Sociophobia: Political Change In The Digital Utopia (Insurrections: Critical Studies In Religion, Politics, And Culture)

Cesar Rendueles argues that technology has diminished rather than augmented social reality, causing us to lower our expectations for personal relationships and political action. Sociophobia questions the cyber-fetishist dogma that lulls us into inflating the virtues of our passive relationship with technology. Rendueles embarks on an ambitious reassessment of political theory to strive for a postcapitalist vision that can lead us past consumerism and political malaise.
