Up next is a big one, brought to you by the minds behind the Disintegrator podcast. A rigorous and mind-blowing account of the dynamics of capitalism, in particular these nebulous, metastatic and fundamentally ungrounded spirals of software, service-provider and platform companies. This book steps forward from Marx, and offers radically new ways to understand how these cutting-edge, complex knots of "empty-shells" manage to call themselves forth from the abyss. 

While at times, the language is academic, precise and drenched in meticulous citations, at other moments a vivid and charismatic voice steps through: "Mergers and acquisitions happen constantly, a wet market where hulking translucent beasts swap organs with each other for liquidity, or where freestanding, inchoate bodies are pulled in into endosymbiotic relations. Blobs accrete to titanic scales, at which point they either bud off with parthenogenetic thrust or become so dotted with advanced cancers that they cease to be recognizable as single blobs at all. Others just pop into puffs of spores.— It’s hard to even situate this organ market as competitive, it’s a free-for-all of limitless organs. These translucent hulks simply reach through each other. Sometimes they get stuck and merge."

There are three chapters dedicated to three philosophical concepts that exemplify the theoretical work being done here: Fold, Drag & Lift. These really well-elaborated concepts help situate this theory within a very contemporary discourse, one which winks at Baudrillard, Lucretius; one where, as Achim Szepanski wrote: Capital might, at moments, seem like the Evil Twin of Deleuze. 

More details and the cover will be release at a later date.
