About the Book: The Soul at Work: From Alienation to Autonomy
We can reach every point in the world but, more importatnty, we can be reached
from any point in the world. Privacy and its possibilities are abolished.
Attention is under siege everywhere. Not solence but uninterrupted noise, not
the red desert, but a cognitive space overcharged with nervous incentives to
act: this is the alienation of our times...
Capital has managed to overcome the dualism of body and soul by establishing a
workforce in which everything we mean by the Soul-language, creativity,
affects-is mobilized for its own benefit. Industrial production put to work
bodies, muscles, and arms.
