Deleuze - Postcript on the Limits of Control

Barry and Mike discuss Deleuze's "Postscript on the Society of Control"

to investigate all of the ways that he argues societies have been kept

in line. As Deleuze argues that we currently inhabit two separate but

related control rubrics simultaneously, there is a bit to tease out.

The guys trace the history of social control according to Foucalt and

Deleuze with the aim of understanding what our technologically enabled

freedoms actually cost and why the freedom to do what we'd like might

not be much of a freedom at all.
