proposes a

how we consider knowledge and information.
This ambitious book systematically and lucidly introduces
contemporary phenomena into the framework of cognitive
materialism to address some of the great themes of the social
sciences: knowledge, exploitation and social class in an account
of capitalism’s totality in the present day. Author Mariano
Zukerfeld reinvigorates materialist study of communications,
presenting a typology of knowledge to explain the underlying
material forms of information, intellectual property and
cognitive work in contemporary societies. Using current examples
the book also examines concerns such as free labour and the
pivotal role of intellectual property.
