technopoliticsn.

From the 2010s onwards the term “technopolitics” appears in the anglophone literature […]. It was then used to describe citizens taking hold of digital technologies, social media first among them, for the purposes of mobilisation, political conquest, empowerment. Technopolitics as I conceive it operates instead at the level of understanding large political and ideological systems. It is not the offspring of traditional technocritique — or rather, not only. […] Technopolitics carries on part of that critical work, in the first sense of holding its object at a distance, without confusing technocritique with technophobia.
