Came across McKenzie Wark via the latest issue of STIR. Her work on the commodification of information sounds really interesting. Will have to check out A Hacker Manifesto and other works. The identification of the ‘Vectoralist class‘ back in 2004 sounds pretty on point.
@neil Was just talking about her with @mike_hales I watched the shorter of the Verso videos about something worse than capitalism. I like the point about acknowledging changes in capitalism but I think she overstates the power/freedom to move of the new class. The rise of logistics (which is part of material production) and the very physical fixed-capital-intensive nature of the new economy that Kim Moody talks about in On New Terrain needs to be taken into account, I think.
