A new book, "Algorithmic Capital: Resistance in the Age of Artificial Intelligence," by Jonathan Martineau and Jonathan Durand Folco, argues that artificial intelligence and algorithms are not merely technologies but are deeply embedded in new forms of capitalism. The book posits that these algorithmic systems are reshaping social reality, politics, and culture by fundamentally altering how capital accumulates and social relations are mediated. It explores various facets, including data valorization, geopolitics, labor, and climate change, to illustrate the pervasive influence of algorithmic capital and discusses potential avenues for resistance and a transition to a more just, post-capitalist future.
