“Book Descriptions: In The Grip of Necrocapitalism looks into the human condition through a wide frame of reference which covers not only our accomplishments, but also the tragic failures which have led to the global collapse of industrial civilisation currently taking place. While traditional history and anthropology tend to focus on how we got from point A to point Z, this book will be focusing on how we got from A to Zero, via Z. Because it is precisely our accomplishments which have been our downfall, therefore raising the need for a fresh post-mortem account of events that can attempt to integrate accomplishments and downfalls as part of one, cohesive story which resonates whichever way one may choose to read it: front to back, or back to front. This is the story of how we became victims of, and slaves to, our own ambitions. Undoubtedly there is a lot of volume to unpack, and the mere exposure of our human failures is only the tip of the iceberg in this rapidly unfolding situation. A book about humans written by a human couldn't possibly remove all human-centric bias, nor can an author living in our current dystopia be fully aware of just how dystopian our civilisation has become. But in order to minimize any subconscious bias, the author doesn't hesitate to question and scrutinize everything we know, or we thought we knew, about our history and role on this planet: from our humble beginnings as a single cell floating in a pool of sludge, to today's tech fascism-dominated digital dystopia. Beware that after you have read this book, your view of the world may drastically change. Once you've had a good look behind the parapet of the pretty, fake, colorful, consumer entertainment metaverse our current custodians have meticulously curated for us, there is no going back. You have now seen the truth. If you prefer to wait behind the door and enjoy the metaverse, that’s fine. But for those of us seeking closure, answers, maybe even fragments of redemption from our spectacular evolutionary dead end, the ideas in this book may as well provide the vital reckoning with our past which needs to happen first and foremost, before any discussion or action, even if it may already be too late. Delving deeper while at the same time zooming further out from some of the concepts explored in my previous book, The Unhappiness Machine, In The Grip of Necrocapitalism explores a rapidly evolving situation of capitalism having merged with intelligent technology, and the far-reaching implications of this chimeric monstrosity. Ironically, just as we approach the apex of our technological culmination, things are beginning to take a sharp, karmic turn for the worst: this new and emerging entity, one which has never existed before on this planet, is now doing to us what we did to the planet and its beings a long time ago. It is an increasingly sentient, mutationally adaptable, self-learning form of capitalism which is slowly but steadily becoming our owner by cleverly using consumerism, automation, surveillance and an ever more inventive, not to mention addictive, range of technological narcotics which turn us into nothing but hedonistic consumatrons. In The Grip of Necrocapitalism makes the macabre observation that we are not heading for a collapse. We are experiencing the symptoms of a collapse which started long ago, and whose effects have been filtering through our complex system for a while. This process consists of the collapse of the fabric which kept the ecology of this planet together, as well as an almost complete collapse of human spiritual consciousness, something which is doubtful whether we ever possessed in the first place. If you do decide to open this door, please do it with compassion towards yourself. By merely recognizing the existence of the door, you have already come a long way in terms of enlightenment, consciousness, and infinite, expansive, unconditional, true love. Read more” DRIVE
