The ‘Techno-Feudal’ Hypothesis — Conclusion : Fortunes and Misfortunes of Socialisation.  aThe rise of the IT industry in the nineties promised a new era of freedom and prosperity. It didn’t deliver. Certainly, algorithms are everywhere, but capitalism is no more civilised than ever. In fact, in the hands of private corporations, the digitalisation of the world drives us towards a darker future. The return of monopolies, the dominance of a few platforms, the blurred distinction between the economic and the political all epitomise a systemic mutation. Information and data networks push the digital economy in the direction of the feudal logic of rent, dispossession, and personal domination. How Silicon Valley Unleashed Techno-feudalism offers a fresh genealogy of the Silicon Valley consensus and its contradictions. It disentangles the principles of an emerging systemwide rationale. Large firms compete in cyberspace to gain control over data, and ordinary people are increasingly at the mercy of tech giants. In this new economic order, capital is moving away from production to focus on predation.  aIn English, translated from the French. 0aInformation technology xEconomic aspects912278 0aKnowledge economy925672 0aElectronic commerce91263 0aCapitalismxHistoryy21st century925673  aBroder, Davidetranslator925674  2lcc  00102ddc4070aTBSbTBSd2025-07-03l0oHC79.I55 DURpB07584r2025-07-03t1w2025-07-03y1  c4825d4825
