In The World Computer Jonathan Beller forcefully demonstrates that the history of commodification generates information itself. Investigating its subsequent financialization of daily life and colonization of semiotics, Beller situates the development of myriad systems for quantifying the value of people, objects, and affects as endemic to racial capitalism and computation. Out of the omnipresent calculus imposed by commodification, information emerges historically as a new money form.
Algorithms, derived from for-profit management strategies, conscript all forms of expression--language, image, music, communication--into the calculus of capital such that even Built on oppression and genocide, capital and its technical result as computation manifest as racial formations, as do the machines and software of social mediation that feed racial capitalism and run on social difference.
