{"product_id":"dread-david-theo-goldberg-9781509544455","title":"Dread: Facing Futureless Futures","description":"\u003cp\u003eA pervasive sense has taken hold that any and all of us are under suspicion and surveillance, walking on a tightrope, a step away from erasure of rights or security. Nothing new for many long-targeted populations, it is now surfacing as a broad social sensibility, ramped up by environmental crisis and pandemic wreckage. We have come to live in proliferating dread, even of dread itself.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this brilliant analysis of the nature, origins, and implications of this gnawing feeling, David Theo Goldberg exposes tracking-capitalism as the operating system at the root of dread. In contrast to surveillance, which requires labor-intensive analysis of people's actions and communications, tracking strips back to the fundamental mapping of our movements, networks, and all traces of our digitally mediated lives. A simultaneous tearing of the social fabric - festering culture wars, the erosion of truth, even \"civil war\" itself - frays the seams of the sociality and solidarity needed to thwart this transformation of people into harvestable, expendable data.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis searing commentary offers a critical apparatus for interrogating the politics of our time, arguing that we need not just a politics of refusal and resistance, but a creative politics to counter the social life of dread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Theo Goldberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509544453\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509544455\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.90d","brand":"David Theo Goldberg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994580975871,"sku":"9781509544455","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0b558e39-22f7-4eda-9fc6-8a55a6babce9.jpg?v=1683331000","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dread-david-theo-goldberg-9781509544455","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
