Overview

The Reticular Society theorizes the online colonization of everyday life, diagramming the cultural, political, and economic operations and algorithms of network society while searching for the means of abolishing them. As circuits of exploitation and domination invade each dimension of lived reality - integrating, isolating, and impoverishing all of what has been communicatively captured - The Reticular Society arms readers with a conceptual and creative artillery to tear open holes in our networked world. Redeploying the situationist project against the waves of calculation and computation that informatically inundate life in capitalism's digital currents, each of the book's chapters sharpens the understanding of our online conjuncture in hopes of contributing to the insurgent project of dismantling and destituting its totalizing grip on life.
