Summary

"This important new book by one of France's leading philosophers will appeal to students and scholars across the social sciences and humanities, as well as anyone concerned with the future of our societies in a digital age."--Provided by publisher.

Across the world, integrated automation is leading to a drastic reduction in employment - from the legal profession to truck driving, from medicine to stevedoring. In this first volume of a new series, Bernard Stiegler proposes a radical solution to the crisis posed by automation and consumer capitalism more generally: he advocates a decoupling of 'work', which is meaningful, from 'employment', with the ultimate aim of eradicating the latter altogether. Through a critique of the limits of contemporary capitalism, he calls for the invention of new economic models based on remuneration for a broad range of activities beneficial both to the individual and to society. This important new book by one of France's leading philosophers will appeal to students and scholars across the social sciences and humanities, as well as anyone concerned with the future of our societies in a digital age. -- from back cover.
