Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. What remains of the human when everything can be measured, optimized, predicted, and circulated?The Parenthesis of Modernity is a collection of essays on artificial intelligence, algorithmic power, and the post-human condition. Moving from Ramon Llull, Descartes, Aquinas, Marx, Nietzsche, Freud, and Stiegler to blockchain, digital detox, depression, quantum ontology, and algorithmic governance, Muenir Karatas examines a world in which modernity's promise of explanation has not collapsed - but has been processed.In these essays, the subject becomes a profile, truth becomes ranking, objection becomes engagement data, silence becomes negative data, and sovereignty dissolves into infrastructure, protocol, and flow. The clock has not broken; something far worse has happened - it has become meaningless. And it continues to run at an untraceable speed, in the service of masters no longer visible.Against this new regime of operation, visibility, and distribution, these texts do not offer a simple rejection of technology. They seek instead to think through the fragile possibility of a new relation between human, machine, and nature - beyond the exhausted center of modernity.Written from Turkish and recomposed in English, the essays in this volume were originally published between 2024 and 2026. They should not be read as translations, but as authorial re-compositions: attempts to carry the conceptual pressure, political rhythm, and philosophical texture of the original texts into another language and another world.Heaven is ranking. Hell is echolessness. Purgatory is life suspended in latent space. And the only resistance left may be an interiority that cannot be processed - a silence that cannot be predicted, a word that does not depend on distribution. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. "What we call progress is quietly constructing the architecture of our own extinction."You wake up. You reach for your phone. Before you've spoken a word, algorithms have already mapped your fears, predicted your desires, and sold them back to you. This is not surveillance. This is ownership - of your attention, your behavior, your future.Apocalyptic Capitalism argues that the crises of our age - digital surveillance, ecological collapse, biotechnological inequality, the erosion of democracy - are not separate emergencies. They are a single system, operating by a single logic. Drawing on E. P. Thompson's concept of exterminism, Muenir Karatas offers a structural anatomy of a civilization that has begun engineering its own end.This is not a book about what might go wrong. It is a book about what is already underway.From IBM's punch cards in Nazi Germany to China's social credit system; from Silicon Valley's bunkers to the biotech dreams of immortality reserved only for the wealthy. Karatas traces the arc of a new caste order built on data, code, and manufactured scarcity. He shows how capitalism no longer merely exploits labor. It now claims ownership over the body, the mind, and the genetic code itself.Yet Apocalyptic Capitalism is not a book of resignation.Revisiting Marx through the lens of data labor, the attention economy, and algorithmic governance, Karatas maps the terrain of resistance: open-source ecosystems, ecological commons, the politics of collective intelligence. Drawing on deep ecology, indigenous knowledge systems, and posthumanist ethics, he argues that another configuration of human technology nature relations is not only imaginable - it is necessary.The darkness of our time is real. But it has not yet had the final word.For readers of Shoshana Zuboff, Byung-Chul Han, and Nick Srnicek. This item is printed on demand.
