To remember Franco Piperno, we are publishing today a wonderful piece of his writing, taken from Sentimenti dell’aldiqua (new edition DeriveApprodi, 2023). In the text Franco analyzes with profound lucidity the changes imposed by the computer machine on knowledge, on human cognitive abilities, on ways of thinking and communicating. A process that should not be experienced with nostalgia for a supposed immutable human nature, but with the desire to “dare to stipulate a new meaning of the word work, another calendar, a different collective time”.
Franco’s reflections on the relationship between technological innovation and human capabilities were at the heart of another text we published in Transuenze, The Rise and Crisis of the Technoscience of Capital .
