Châtelet saw clearly the dangers of a taste for ideas such as chaos and emergence, and anticipates the buzz around big data, crowdsourcing, thought-leaders, market democracy and even bespoke Brooklyn yogurt-makers. He is a Juvenal or Jonathan Swift for this disintegrating spectacle that is the over-developed world.
— McKenzie Wark
An uproarious portrait of the evils of the market and a technical manual for its innermost ideological workings, this is the story of how the perverted legacy of liberalism sought to knead Marx’s ‘free peasant’ into a statistical ‘average man’—pliant raw material for the sausage-machine of postmodernity.
Combining the incandescent wrath of the betrayed comrade with the acute discrimination of the mathematician-physicist, Châtelet scrutinizes the pseudoscientific alibis employed to naturalize ‘market democracy’ and the ‘triple alliance’ between politics, economics, and cybernetics.
Crucial reading for any future politics that wants to replace individualism with individuation and libertarianism with liberation, this new translation constitutes a major contribution to contemporary debate on neoliberalism, economics and capitalist subjectivation.

Gilles Châtelet (1944–1999) was Professor of Mathematics at the University of Paris VIII, and programme director at the Collège International de Philosophie from 1989 to 1995, during which time he worked closely with Félix Guattari, and published the important work Les Enjeux du Mobile: Mathématique, Physique, Philosophie (Seuil, 1993). In 1994 he joined the Laboratoire Disciplinaire Pensée des Sciences at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, where he had an active and influential role in the seminar, ‘Actuality, Potentiality and Virtuality’. In the year before his death he published Vivre et Penser Comme des Porcs (Éditions Exils, 1998), which became an unexpected bestseller. Posthumous collections of his work include Les Animaux Malades du Consensus (Lignes, 2010) and L’Enchantement du Virtuel (Éditions Rue d’Ulm, 2010).

极其稀缺和富有冒犯性的风格，戏谑味极强的科幻-理论虚构，读者仿佛误入了哲学的剧院，随着戏剧化的展开发现自己竟然是这场悲喜剧的主角… 夏特莱虽然赞扬了德勒兹加塔利，但对社会物理学和后现代游牧差异精神的嘲讽让他更靠近巴迪欧和朗西埃，无论是对民主作为意见市场和政治算术的猛烈炮轰，还是拒绝赛博化的人类动物的自然给定命运。巴迪欧和朗西埃最troll的文章与这种狂怒的隐喻武术相比都显得平静。 夏特莱对数学形式... 极其稀缺和富有冒犯性的风格，戏谑味极强的科幻-理论虚构，读者仿佛误入了哲学的剧院，随着戏剧化的展开发现自己竟然是这场悲喜剧的主角… 夏特莱虽然赞扬了德勒兹加塔利，但对社会物理学和后现代游牧差异精神的嘲讽让他更靠近巴迪欧和朗西埃，无论是对民主作为意见市场和政治算术的猛烈炮轰，还是拒绝赛博化的人类动物的自然给定命运。巴迪欧和朗西埃最troll的文章与这种狂怒的隐喻武术相比都显得平静。 夏特莱对数学形式的本体论与诗学事件的生命原则（定义-眩晕）的双重承诺（尼采-马克思/黑格尔，巴迪欧-德勒兹），兼具忧郁与狂喜的嬉笑怒骂的双重风格，都呈现出了巴迪欧所说的那种浪漫辩证法，它通过中断来加速，通过噪音来交流，在冒险中把自己置于危险的境地，“让我们纵情于暧昧之中吧，只爱那些会扰乱你秩序的东西，即便为之而亡” (展开)
