Interesting analysis of the apparently non-productive economy of Big Tech, by situating it as accelerating the circulation of capital in Marx’s model, rather than contributing (predominantly at least) to capital’s productive forces. Ended weakly for me; I would struggle to summarise its proposed vision of “biocommunism”. Unfortunately this mostly read like a typical “what if things were good instead of bad” proposal to end the last chapter of a progressive book.
Prompted an interest for me in central planning, in the light of 70s cybernetics (Stafford Beer and his work with Allende in Chile) and present-day computational power.
