The New Flesh explores the implications of living in an increasingly online world, posing essential questions about its impact on our lives. The central thesis argues that data production has infiltrated daily existence, creating platforms that ensnare the bored and marginalize the dispossessed. Communication has accelerated into a viral phenomenon, turning life into a profitable simulation while allowing new forms of fascism to thrive in cyberspace. By connecting the internet to empire, Adam C. Jones blends the insights of Marx, Engels, and contemporary theorists to offer a materialist perspective on the psychological and economic dynamics shaping our digital landscape.
