The psychopathologies of cognitive capitalism

More about the book

What is the future of the mind under cognitive capitalism? Can a term such as plastic materialism describe the substantive changes in neural architecture instigated by a contingent cultural habitus? What about the unconscious under these conditions? How might it be modified, mutated, and modulated by the evolving conditions of global attention? The Psychopathologies of Cognitive Capitalism: Part 1 is part of a series that will pursue these and other questions.
