We are grappling with multiple interconnected dilemmas—climate change, pandemics, the tensions between the individual and society—all of which have to be addressed on a planetary scale. Even when separated, we are still enmeshed. Can the world govern itself differently? If so, what models and philosophies are needed?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBratton argues that, instead of thinking of technology as something that happens to society, we must see how it can form the basis of a politics of infrastructure, knowledge, and direct intervention. He urges us to reconsider questions of “surveillance” in the face of necessary testing and care. He asks what the “mask wars” revealed about the destructive nature of individualism as the basis of sovereignty?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book proposes that it is time to transform how we live, work, and thrive. Rethinking governance means rethinking how we interact with each other as a global population, and how we ensure our obligations to each other. For this, we should build a society based in a new rationality of inclusion, care, and foresight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47341392068844,"sku":"9781839762574","price":22.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/524773482843.jpg?v=1772190895"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/benjamin-bratton.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
