The fact that communism did not prevail does not mean we are still in capitalism. Capitalist relations are undergoing systemic transformation, and becoming something that might even be worse.

Bringing together analyses from different fields—law, technology, Marxism, and psychoanalysis—Jodi Dean shows direction the contemporary world is heading: neofeudalism. Feudalism isn’t just a metaphor. It’s the operating system for the present. The question is: in a society of serfs and servants, how do we get free?
