Today: Jonathan Crary, author, "Scorched Earth"
• Jonathan Crary bio at Columbia
• Scorched Earth: Beyond the Digital Age to a Post-Capitalist World (2022 book)
• 24/7: Late Capitalism and the Ends of Sleep (2014 book)
• Letter from the (Verso) editor about Scorched Earth: “The book insists on the inseparability of social disintegration and environmental collapse under global capitalism. Civil society and ecosystems are eroding simultaneously.”
• Review of Scorched Earth by Theory, Culture & Society: “Scorched Earth adds a much-needed critical voice to the growing discontent surrounding the usefulness of the internet and the digital technologies which penetrate ever deeper into our everyday lives.”
• We Need to Take Back Our Privacy (by Zeynep Tufekci, NYT, May 19, 2022): “Protections you think you have may not be as broad as you think. The confidentiality that federal health privacy law provides to conversations with a doctor doesn’t always apply to prescriptions. In 2020, Consumer Reports exposed that GoodRX, a popular drug discount and coupons service, was selling information on what medications people were searching or buying to Facebook, Google and other data marketing firms. GoodRX said it would stop, but there is no law against them, or any pharmacy, doing this.”

(I think one of the huge problems with current electronic "content*" force-feeding is that it makes people's muscles for long-form reading and the appreciation of the quietly droll grow flaccid.)
* I hate the word "content" as used for writing and visual creative arts treated as a fungible commodity, but that's why it fits above.
[I also hate the use of the word "creatives" for people who engage in creative activities. It's just more commodification.]

My nose started bleeding while I was typing that, and for a minute, I figured that the capitalists had perfected some sort of X-Men-style weapon to take out those who had seen too much!

I also heard Mr Tarnoff, author of Internet For The People, interviewed on KQED today. Another strong take.
Gratitude!

Nose bleeds could be dehydration related to the drug alcohol. You know? ‘Capital’s favorite’ drugs Ciggs and booze
