Marina Garces is a philosopher, activist and teacher from Barcelona. In her work, she focuses on politics and critical thinking. She expresses the need for a philosophical voice capable of challenging and commitment. She rethinks the relation of humans to the world and points out how easily humanity accepts forms of oppression instead of striving for dignity. Some of her most famous books are Filosofía inacabada, Nova illustració radical y Escuela de aprendices.

What remains of the human subject in an age when reason is carried out by and through information machines and technologies of calculation? Who will set the boundaries that distinguish between the calculable and the incalculable? What will it take to turn instruments of calculation into instruments of liberation? This wonderfully readable book is also a work of profound scholarship by one of the most powerful thinkers working today.
