Conclusion: Zombie Capitalism and the Rage of the Undead
摘要
This chapter maps the rise of ‘zombie capitalism’, arguing that the 2008 financial crash ushered in a period of unending neo-liberal austerity, creating a system akin to the undead—persisting despite its internal decay and societal damage. The zombie is not just a horror figure but a symbol of the decaying and unthinking systems that dominate our lives. We conclude that unless we can reverse the epistemic sharding of experiences and metastatisation of the real by the digital self and reestablish shared worlds, relations, concepts and solutions, then our realities will remain radically separate, fractalised and digitally kaleidoscopic.
