The Gentle Empire and the insectoid hive mind are metaphors for the division and factionalism found in modern society and culture. From 1740 through 2144, the Gentle Empire drops its repetitive payloads of new technological wonders and corresponding propaganda values. Television takes center stage for a time and then it's replaced with robots and holographic projections. Finally, virtual reality makes actual reality obsolete! The competing alien empires will have to make the ultimate sacrifice and succeed against the odds even though both sides are so equally matched. Who will win? It truly could go either way. Will agents Zippity and Zappity succeed with their propaganda mission to win over the Earth or will they be thwarted by the insectoid hive mind? (This is the third volume in the Media Armageddon trilogy that began with Gorgeous Robot Flesh and The Next Paradigm for Human Living. The events in this volume occur simultaneously with the events of the previous two volumes. The three volumes can be read in any order.)

ISBN: 1911534378

The United States presents the greatest source of global geo-political violence and instability. Guided by the radical political economy tradition, this book offers an analysis of the USA’s historical impulse to weaponize communication technologies. Scott Timcke explores the foundations of this impulse and how the militarization of digital society creates structural injustices and social inequalities. He analyses how new digital communication technologies support American paramountcy and conditions for worldwide capital accumulation. Identifying selected features of contemporary American society, Capital, State, Empire undertakes a materialist critique of this digital society and of the New American Way of War. At the same time it demonstrates how the American security state represses activists—such as Black Lives Matter—who resist this emerging security leviathan. The book also critiques the digital positivism behind the algorithmic regulation used to control labour and further diminish prospects for human flourishing for the ‘99%’. Capital, State, Empire contributes to a broader understanding of the dynamics of global capitalism and political power in the early 21st century.
