Ocupa bastantes ideas de pensadores anteriores para pintarte un escenario desolador. Corto y terrible, porque no lo puedes negar.

Very well done. An extremely smart critique on Foucault’s panopticon and biopolitics and offers an erudite evaluation on the implications of big data and psychopolitics in the minutiae of every day life and society at large.

Would recommend this again and again and again.

Short essays exploring neoliberalism and its creepy, creepy ways. I liked it (3.5)! If you're looking for philosophy revolving around "biopower" and "technological domination", look no further, you can start here. The author includes some interesting takes on alternatives, too. Despite being short, this little book took me a while to get through and digest. It is one of those books that is best read in short bursts. Enjoy.

The book felt at times like a too-condensed version of a longer more explanatory text. A glossary may have been helpful for non philosophers or a few pages on the schools or traditions mentioned but overall I enjoyed it. It merits rereading then asking a philosophy student

Sehr kurze interessant, aber leider auch sehr oberflächlich. Jedoch gibt es eine gute Übersicht an diesem Thema und lässt auch zu kleinen Existenz Krisen genügend Raum, wenn man auf einmal seine ganze 20 Jahre Existenz hinterfragt. 

Die ersten paar Kapitel waren sehr stark die letzteren zu data und alle weiteren war ein bisschen vage. Natürlich hatten sie auch eine Rolle in gesamten Kontext, aber ja.
