The Twittering Machine

A chilling exploration of how social media's addiction machine has stolen our social lives and reshaped society.

In Paul Klee's The Twittering Machine, a diabolical device lures humankind into damnation with birdsong. Richard Seymour argues this is a metaphor for our relationship with social media, where we become 'users' addicted to likes and shares. The system aggregates our desires and frailties into data, commodifying our experiences.

Through sharp analysis, Seymour examines the human side of this machine. He asks: What are we getting out of it, and what are we getting into? This is a vital read for anyone seeking to understand the impact of technology, overcome digital addiction, and reclaim their social life. Perfect for readers interested in sociology, media studies, and current affairs.
