"In this compelling new book, Goldberg brilliantly shows that the technologies we now require to live are depriving us of the social lives required for survival. This searing impasse is at once revealed and countered in this incisive book."Judith Butler, author of The Force of Nonviolence"Incisive, well informed, and theoretically rich, this most illuminating critique of our present enriches, stretches, and challenges our understanding of our potential futures."Achille Mbembe, author of Necropolitics"Dread is a profoundly insightful book and a fantastic read too."Sebastian Liao, director of the Institute for Advanced Study at National Taiwan University
