“Bloom provides a provocative and insightful account of how financial, technological, and authoritarian processes combine to configure contemporary capitalism.” Paul Langley, Durham University

“Now, more than ever, critical analyses of capitalism and power structures are sorely needed. In this fascinating new book, Peter Bloom provides an unflinching and searching view on what has gone wrong, and what needs to happen to mount an effective fight against authoritarianism driven by vested interests. Highly recommended for all those who care about the state of the world.” Deborah Lupton, UNSW Sydney

“Bloom’s work contributes tremendously to quantified work debates with a new philosophy of authoritarian neoliberalism, where financialization now dominates subjectivity.” Phoebe Moore, University of Essex
