Cold open: Garden Glossary - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBMRWwjGJHQ\n\nIt\u2019s time for theory chat! To analyse the techno-politics of smart systems, we need good theories at hand. And we\u2019re joined by the great Liv Agar \u2013 philosopher, podcaster, streamer \u2013 to discuss the hyper-prescient work of Gilles Deleuze on societies of control and the transition away from disciplinary societies. We\u2019re talking rhizomes, dividuals, passwords, capitalism, power, and smart technology as we break down a critical theory for understanding a society driven mad by control.\n\nFollow, listen, read, watch Liv: https://linktr.ee/livagar\n\nSome stuff we reference:\n\u2022 Postscript on the Societies of Control | Gilles Deleuze: cidadeinseguranca.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/deleuze_control.pdf\n\u2022 Control and Becoming | Gilles Deleuze, Antonio Negri: uib.no/sites/w3.uib.no/files/attachments/6._deleuze-control_and_becoming_0.pdf\n\u2022 Too Smart | Jathan Sadowski: https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/too-smart \n\nSubscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! patreon.com/thismachinekills \n\nTMK shirts are now available here: bonfire.com/mech-luddite/ \n\nHosted by Jathan Sadowski (twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (twitter.com/bigblackjacobin).
