Meditations on Resistance explores various academic fields, such as education, media studies, cultural studies, law, psychology, and philosophy. Through a transdisciplinary approach, it harnesses a wide range of theories and ideas to delve into inquiries concerning the impact of Artificial Intelligence and new media within the realm of Neoliberal capitalism. The volume serves as a collective and immanent critique of Neoliberalism and significant technological corporations, while also issuing a call for action.

"This distinguished collection offers hope in a difficult time. The authors remind us of the power of resistance to the threat represented by neo-liberalism and the fascist upsurge it has provoked. The struggle continues!"

-Andrew Feenberg, Author of The Ruthless Critique of Everything Existing: Nature and Revolution in Marcuse's Philosophy of Praxis (Verso Books)

"Meditations brings together insights as we in the United States and around the world reckon with the challenges brought on by corporate and state-driven AI and other technologies. This book provides perspectives by leading scholars discussing the material impacts of these emerging technologies and powerful visions of how we, around the planet, may find a path forward whereby technologies of all kinds may actually work for the betterment of humanity."

-Ramesh Srinivasan, Professor of Information Studies in the Graduate School of Education & Information Studies Program, UCLA, and author of Beyond the Valley (MIT Press)

"This anthology provides a synoptic survey exploring the interface between the media tech industry, the culture industry, capitalism, democracy, the rise of neo- fascist populism, and efforts to increase critical media literacy in schools and other forms of media democracy. An indispensable guide for anyone perplexed by the contemporary structural transformation of the public sphere."

  • David Ingram, Professor of Philosophy, Loyola University, and author of World Crisis and Underdevelopment (Cambridge University Press)
