Marx u digitalnom dobu: Dijalektički materijalizam na vratima tehnologije
The book presents a Marxist analysis of the digital age, where technology is not a neutral tool, but a process subject to the logic of capital. The author advocates a 21st century democratic socialism: technology for needs, not profit.
The author asks the question: can new technologies and media democratize society and emancipate minority cultures? Through a Marxist lens – from the "Communist Manifesto" to contemporary thinkers like Badiou – Peović Vuković exposes how the digital revolution intensifies inequality: platforms like Facebook and Google exploit data as a new surplus value, and algorithms reproduce class and gender divisions.
Structure: the introduction of "The Spectre of Technology" criticizes Heidegger's discomfort with machines, followed by an analysis of digital labor (precariat, gig economy), media hegemony, and the potential for resistance – open source, digital activism. Technology is neither a utopia nor a dystopia; it is an arena of class struggle, where materialism meets the cybernetic paradigm.
