CHAPTER 1
As we begin the second decade of the twenty-first century, two trends are immediately apparent. First, more than ever before, a substantial portion of our social relations are taking place online. Any kind of dichotomy between the real and the virtual has become difficult to sustain. Second, authoritarian and populist social movements have surged in popularity throughout the world, placing the stability of liberal democracy into question. In this book we argue that these two saturations of our social terrain, that of information technologies and that of authoritarian ideologies, are deeply related. This does not mean that in some simplistic sense informational technologies are the cause of authoritarian populism, nor vice versa. Our claim is that certain characteristics of neoliberal capitalism have dovetailed with and been amplified by the proliferation of information technologies and social media, and that these overdetermined tendencies have poked with increasing vigour at a selection of psychosocial wounds, already endemic to neoliberal capitalism, that tend to inspire authoritarian and populist reaction.
