Critical Theory And The Digital by David Berry
A rigorous application of critical theory to contemporary digital life, this book examines how digital technologies reshape culture, labor, knowledge and politics by accelerating commodification, surveillance, algorithmic governance and platform capitalism. Drawing on traditions from the Frankfurt School through poststructuralist and Marxist thought, it traces historical continuities and novel formations—datafication, attention economies, automation and algorithmic bias—and shows how these dynamics reconfigure the public sphere, subjectivity and democratic possibility. Combining conceptual analysis with contemporary examples, it argues for retooling critical theory to address the distinctive power relations of the digital and outlines normative resources and practical interventions for resisting domination and imagining more equitable, democratic digital futures.
