Abstract
Caught in the real-time regime all we can do is speculate about the future value of concepts. Over the past decade we’ve worked together on many texts producing one concept: organized networks. Prior to examining the challenge of organization, let’s examine the ups and downs of the network paradigm. Organizing presupposes a Will to Act. So, before we regress into the ‘interpassivity’ that dominates our conspiracy age, it’s important to address the status of the online self: how can we prevent portraying ourselves as victims of fake news? How will we recover from the Big Data regression? If refusal of social media is no longer an option, how do we master the fear of missing out and take matters into our own hands?
