A searing collection of essays examining how contemporary capitalism has evolved into what Grau terms the "conspiratorial mode of production"-a system where awareness of exploitation becomes the product, resistance becomes content, and critique strengthens what it opposes. Through analyses of wellness culture, revolutionary movements, social media, information transparency, climate capitalism, and artificial intelligence, Grau demonstrates how knowing about systemic control deepens participation in it. Drawing on critical theory, media studies, and cultural criticism, this work argues that we have entered a new phase of capitalism where transparency functions as the highest form of opacity and full awareness coincides with complete powerlessness. Equal parts theoretical investigation and cultural diagnosis, the book examines how every attempt at escape becomes another product line in the marketplace of manufactured dissent.
