Quotes by McKenzie Wark  (?)

“In some ways, the great danger for this commodified universe is our boredom with it ... There is this sort of dialectic that you could tease out, that even in this overdeveloped late-capitalist world, that boredom was still this kind of critical energy that you could work on and try to theorize and then act on, to find other kinds of belonging, other kinds of desire, other kinds of life.”
McKenzie Wark

“The dominant ruling class of our time owns and controls information.”
McKenzie Wark, Capital is Dead: Is This Something Worse?

“In Japan itself it seemed as if theory had been absorbed the same way Japanese media culture absorbed everything else—by turning it into a spectacular subcultural style.”
McKenzie Wark, General Intellects: Twenty-One Thinkers for the Twenty First Century
