Twenty-One Thinkers for the Twenty-First Century","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"edition-single--book-teaser\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat happened to the public intellectuals that used to challenge and inform us? Who is the Sartre or De Beauvoir of the internet age? \u003cem\u003eGeneral Intellects\u003c\/em\u003e argues we no longer have such singular figures, but there are, instead, “general intellects” whose writing could, if read collectively, explain our times. Covering topics such as culture, politics, work, technology, and the Anthropocene, each chapter is a concise account of an individual thinker, providing useful context and connections to the work of the others. McKenzie Wark’s distinctive readings are appreciations, but are nonetheless critical of how neoliberal universities militate against cooperative intellectual work that endeavors to understand and also change the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe thinkers included are Amy Wendling, Kojin Karatani, Paolo Virno, Yann Moulier Boutang, Maurizio Lazzarato, Franco “Bifo” Berardi, Angela McRobbie, Paul Gilroy, Slavoj Žižek, Jodi Dean, Chantal Mouffe, Wendy Brown, Judith Butler, Hiroki Azuma, Paul B.
