1. The Machinic Unconscious
Essays in Schizoanalysis
This book delves into the intricate interplay between machines, language, and the unconscious mind, proposing a radical rethinking of how desire and subjectivity are produced. It explores the concept of "machinic assemblages," where human and non-human elements interact to create complex systems of meaning and experience. By challenging traditional psychoanalytic theories, it offers a fresh perspective on the dynamic processes that shape human consciousness and social structures, emphasizing the fluid and interconnected nature of reality.

2. Schizoanalytic Cartographies
A series of theoretical essays and interviews develops a practice of mapping social and psychic territories that rejects Oedipal psychoanalysis in favor of a schizoanalytic approach emphasizing multiplicity, machinic assemblages, and lines of flight; it proposes concrete cartographies of desire and subjectivity that reveal how capitalism, institutions, and technological systems shape individual and collective experience while also pointing to transversal practices and micro-political resistances that open new forms of ethical and political becoming.
