Economist Paul Mason's blockbuster manifesto Postcapitalism suggests that markets just can't organize products whose major input isn't labor or material, but information, and that means that, for the first time in history, it's conceivable that we can have a society based on abundance.

In the Facebook Aquarium: The Resistible Rise of Anarcho-Capitalism, Ippolita
From the publishers web site:
In their new work research collective Ippolita provides a critical investigation of the inner workings of Facebook as a model for all commercial social networks. Facebook is an extraordinary platform that can generate large profit from the daily activities of its users. Facebook may appear to be a form of free entertainment and self-promotion but in reality its users are working for the development of a new type of market where they trade relationships. As users of social media we have willingly submitted to a vast social, economic and cultural experiment.
By critically examining the theories of Californian right-libertarians, Ippolita show the thread con- necting Facebook to the European Pirate Parties, WikiLeaks and beyond. An important task today is to reverse the logic of radical transparency and apply it to the technologies we use on a daily basis. The algorithms used for online advertising by the new masters of the digital world – Facebook, Apple, Google and Amazon – are the same as those used by despotic governments for personalized repression. Ippolita argues we should not give in to the logic of conspiracy or paranoia instead we must seek to develop new ways of autonomous living in our networked society.

Description
Design for me is a way to better understand the world. I just can't read a text well without bringing structure in it through design.
In our highly globalized world, design serves the goal of deception, hereby serving multinationals and large corporations.
In this world, my interest goes to the everyday and everybody, from the global to the local. I believe in the simple small messages that we all have to tell. To put them together into a story which you haven't read yet but which you are of part day by day.
I have joined the Memfest community becasue i am interested in
Social engagement, artistic freedom and experimentation in design.
New ways of thinking and collaborating with journalists, designers, philosophers, critics, documentary makers and artists.
