The Revenge of the Real envisions a new positive biopolitics that recognises that how populations govern themselves is literally a matter of life and death. We are grappling with multiple interconnected dilemmas - climate change, pandemics, the tensions between the individual and society - all of which have to be addressed on a planetary scale. Even when separated, we are still enmeshed. Can the world govern itself differently? If so, what models and philosophies are needed? Bratton argues that, instead of thinking of technology as something that happens to society, we must see how it can form the basis of a politics of infrastructure, knowledge, and direct intervention. He urges us to reconsider questions of "surveillance" in the face of necessary testing and care. He asks what did the "mask wars" reveal about the destructive nature of individualism as the basis of sovereignty? The book proposes that it is time to transform how we live, work and thrive. Rethinking governance means rethinking how we interact with each other as a global population, and how we ensure our obligations to each other. For this, we should build a society based in a new rationality of inclusion, care and foresight.

Covid-19 hat die Krisenhaftigkeit unserer politischen Systeme schlagartig zum Vorschein gebracht. Während viele Staaten am Auftrag, ihre Bevölkerungen zu schützen, gescheitert sind, wussten sich andere nur durch pauschale Beschränkungen zu helfen. Die Zeiten des Lockdowns haben unser Verständnis des gesellschaftlichen Zusammenlebens verändert. Doch welche Lehren ziehen wir daraus?Benjamin Brattons spektakulärer Essay zieht die politischen Konsequenzen aus der Erfahrung der Pandemie und erkennt gesellschaftliche Handlungsfähigkeit als Existenzfrage. Denn die Krisen unserer Gegenwart erfordern umfassende Eingriffe in globalem Ausmaß und können nur mithilfe neuer Technologien und Formen der Steuerung und Koordination gelöst werden. Anstatt Biotechnologie, Geoengineering und globale Softwaresysteme ausschließlich als Bedrohung zu empfinden, ist es an der Zeit, sie als gesellschaftliche Ressourcen in Anspruch zu nehmen. Die Realität schlägt zurück ist ein Weckruf gegen die politische Einfallslosigkeit und ein Plädoyer für ein Denken, das der neuen Normalität gewachsen ist.
