This book dares to ask whether we've moved beyond capital (and capitalism) into something else. It spends a good bit of time defending its approach. Those portions of the book seem to be mostly for Marxist theorists who are resistant to thinking about whether what we are now experience is capitalism with a new modifier (disaster-, etc.). But if you are just interested in the experiment that Wark is engaging in, there's plenty for you here.

She argues that the new class antagonism is between the hacker class (those tasked with creating new information) and the vectoralist class (those with the power to operationalize that information). There's a fundamental asymmetry, thus the antagonism. The hacker class receives "free" things (set up a social network) and exchanges information for those things. If the hacker class attempts to get the 10,000-foot view that the Vectoralists get, they will almost always fail.

This book is short and engaging and worth a read, especially if you're interesting in thinking beyond Fisher's Capitalist Realism.
