César Rendueles argues that technology has diminished rather than augmented social reality, causing us to lower our expectations for personal relationships and political action. Sociophobia questions the cyber-fetishist dogma that lulls us into inflating the virtues of our passive relationship with technology. Rendueles embarks on an ambitious reassessment of political theory to strive for a postcapitalist vision that can lead us past consumerism and political malaise.
