The Libertarian World publishing house is pleased to announce the release of: Robocracy: When Robots Meet AI, by Patrick Albert ---- Available from September 5, 2026 ---- They fascinate and frighten us. We believe they depend on a battery to function, but in reality, they are already capable of producing their own energy by eating, defecating, and reusing their own excrement. They render the notion of the Anthropocene completely inadequate for understanding reality, and if the sinister expression "great replacement" is to have any meaning, they alone are responsible.
They are the robots. They have plunged the world into the Mekhanecene, the age of machines, delivering humanity into the hands of a handful of the super-rich and states, bound hand and foot, defenseless against the double bind of capitalism: "Consume and obey." Worse still, they can simply eliminate its ability to decide not only what should be produced, but also how that production is used, prioritizing the military function to the detriment of all others...
This book is a collection of articles published in Le Monde libertaire at the beginning of the decade; it has its own history. The two authors, Hépha Istos and Nuage Fou, have placed two major recent events in perspective: the Yellow Vest uprising and the coronavirus pandemic, to show how robots have infiltrated our lives and how humanity is rising up against them.
A preface and an afterword frame these texts, situating them within their theoretical, political, and philosophical context and, importantly, outlining libertarian strategies for combating this ultimate danger.
