Psychopolitics by Byung-Chul Han
Neoliberalism and New Technologies of Power
In this thought-provoking exploration of contemporary society, the author delves into the pervasive influence of neoliberalism and digital technology on the human psyche. The book argues that modern power structures have shifted from external coercion to internalized control, where individuals willingly participate in their own subjugation through self-optimization and constant connectivity. By examining the psychological mechanisms at play, the author reveals how freedom is subtly transformed into a form of voluntary servitude, challenging readers to reconsider the nature of autonomy and resistance in the digital age.
