书籍介绍
这是一本读完后会让人后背发凉的短书。它最锋利处在于揭示:今天的我们并非被某个外在的暴君或监狱看守所压迫,而是心甘情愿地剥削着自己。绩效社会把「自由」「自我优化」「追求卓越」包装成动力,却让读者在996、内卷、自我提升的焦虑中,不知不觉成了资本循环再生产的燃料。与福柯的规训社会不同,它不再靠禁令和处决,而是靠「点赞」——一句数字化的「阿门」,把监视任务外包给我们自己。书中最有争议、也最经得起咀嚼的,正是这个判断:没有主人强迫,却自愿被剥削,这才是绝对的奴仆。它适合那些明明很努力、却说不清自己为何疲惫的人;也适合想厘清从生物政治到精神政治这一权力转向的人。它或许不够系统,但它提供的视角,足以让你重新审视手机、社交网络和每一个「我还能更优秀」的念头。
