What Is Power? by Byung-Chul Han
The book argues that contemporary power has shifted from overt, repressive forms to a diffuse, seductive modality that governs through positivity, freedom and self-optimization: instead of coercion it operates via networks, digital surveillance and neoliberal imperatives that turn subjects into willing instruments of their own exploitation, erase antagonism and mask domination; the analysis calls attention to how this less visible but more pervasive power shapes subjectivity and undermines the conditions for genuine political resistance and negativity.
