Postscript on the Societies of Control
Book • 1990
In 'Postscript on the Societies of Control', Gilles Deleuze examines the transition from disciplinary societies, characterized by rigid enclosures like prisons and factories, to societies of control, marked by fluid and continuous forms of surveillance and modulation.
Deleuze argues that these societies operate through subtle mechanisms of control, often perceived as exercises of freedom, and are deeply intertwined with modern technology and capitalism.
