Suarez-Villa tackles the postmoderninst, neocapitalist ideal and the everpresent belief in technology and interpretes it from a marxist viewpoint. To suarez-villa, technology doesnt free us, but slaves us to yet another rat race which uses our creativity as its fuel. An interesting and provoking read. Would recommend it to someone with some backround knowledge of marxist and critical market theories.
