The Digital Party
From the Pirate Parties in Northern Europe to Podemos in Spain and the 5-Star Movement in Italy, from the movements behind Bernie Sanders in the US and Jeremy Corbyn in UK, to Jean-Luc Melenchon's presidential bid in France, the last decade has witnessed the rise of a new blueprint for political organisation: the 'digital party'. These new political formations tap into the potential of social media, and use online participatory platforms to include the rank-and-file. Paolo Gerbaudo looks at the restructuring of political parties in the time of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and campaigning based on Big Data. Drawing on interviews with key political leaders and digital organisers, he argues tha...

Crime in the Digital Age
Willie Sutton, a notorious American bank robber of fifty years ago, was once asked why he persisted in robbing banks. "Because that's where the money is," he is said to have replied. The theory that crime follows opportunity has become established wisdom in criminology; opportunity reduction has become one of the fundamental principles of crime prevention. "The enormous benefits of telecommunications are not without cost." It could be argued that this quotation from Crime in the Digital Age, is a dramatic understatement.

Inhuman Power
The past several years have brought staggering advances in the field of Artificial Intelligence. And Marxist analysis has to keep up: while machines were always central to Marxist analysis, modern AI is a new kind of machine that Marx could not have anticipated. Inhuman Power explores the relationship between Marxist theory and AI through three approaches, each using the lens of a different Marxist theoretical concept. While the idea of widespread AI tends to be celebrated as much as questioned, a deeper analysis of its reach and potential produces a more complex and disturbing picture than has been identified. Inhuman Power argues that on its current trajectory, AI is likely to render humanity obsolete and that the only way to prevent it is a communist revolution.
The Shattered Algorithm
In Arcadia Prime, a city of towering neon spires and pervasive surveillance, Orion Castille, a meticulous data analyst, uncovers an encrypted sequence that defies the state's ironclad protocols. This discovery propels him into a perilous quest that unravels a clandestine network engineering the psychological manipulation of its citizens. Orion's solitary brilliance, once the key to his success, must now be tempered by trust, empathy, and raw human connection. Join Orion as he forges alliances with Malika Saren, a cybernetic ethicist whose rational detachment and inner scars mirror their shared struggle against dehumanization, and Alarik Jense, an ex-technocrat driven by vengeance and now see...
