Found out one of my favorite authors, philosopher Eugene Thacker, wrote (with Alexander Galloway) a 2007 book on networks titled “The Exploit” so of course I’m engaging in some light Sunday reading.

(Thacker is better known for his “Horror of Philosophy” series about horror and the limits of human understanding, which is phenomenal.)
