This radical conclusion raises issues forces us to reckon with a new, disorienting horizon for critical thought at the intersection of technology and politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book demonstrates that two major streams of posthuman thought—namely, accelerationism and Prometheanism—can be interpreted as attempts to liberate our desires from our reason or our rationality from our all-too-human desire, each through the offloading of various tasks to emerging technologies. But, Patrick Gamez argues, the rise of opaque, unexplainable machine learning algorithms to predict and shape our behaviour undermines the common-sense models of mind through which we ultimately make sense of both the human and the posthuman.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2025-05-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031907692\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-90770-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 156\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44522771873932,"sku":"9783031907692","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031907692.jpg?v=1775959614","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783031907692","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
