Thinking freedom in the age of control.

This essay challenges common interpretations of power and technology, and offers a radical reinterpretation of concepts such as anarchy, control, and freedom. By confronting accelerationism, punk philosophies, and the thinking of authors such as Gilles Deleuze and Martin Heidegger, author Sandro Cremonese questions the very idea of power, investigating the invisible ways in which media and technology shape social relations. Avoiding the coercive tendencies implicit in emerging social and technological systems, the author explores the possibility of alternative social models in which no one can influence anyone else: an “existential anarchy,” in which there are no communicative authorities. The result? A reflection that intertwines ethics, metaphysics, and aesthetics in an attempt to understand not only how we can truly be free and authentic but also how we can prevent the emergence of new forms of endless violence.
