Description

What if the most dangerous idea of the 21st century is not artificial intelligence, but the enterprise that tells you, "you are an algorithm"?

Anti-Harari begins by dismantling one of the most dazzling narratives of the tech age: the "inevitability" of Dataism. This narrative, circulated under the guise of popular science, is in fact a new theology of power. Just as medieval feudal power was legitimised through divine order, so too is today's algorithmic order legitimised through scholastic dogmas. The reason is the same: to make power permanent. That is why discourse must be as sharp as a sword - and why "new stories" are always needed.

This book targets three fundamental dogmas:

  • the reduction of the human to an algorithm,
  • the denial of the will,
  • and the absolutisation of data.
It also lays bare the political economy behind them.

The author does not leave the discussion in abstract philosophy. He descends to the body - the primary source of the paradigm he calls Somatic Materialism.

He maps a somatic terrain stretching from the nervous system to the gut, from microorganisms to connective tissue. This map reveals: the human being is not a closed computational system; we are an open, vibrating, unpredictable ecosystem.

For this reason, the issue is not merely intellectual.

It is a matter of a new property regime being imposed under the name of "inevitability."

It is a matter of sovereignty and production relations taking on a new form through algorithmic instruments.

It is a matter of the body becoming a new colonial territory.

Anti-Harari is not against technology.

But it is against technology being presented as a destiny independent of power relations.

Because behind what is presented as destiny, there is always a design.

A spectre is haunting the algorithm.

The spectre is the body.
