"Bernard Stiegler grasps the décadence of our democracies. New
industrial (informational) technologies, harnessed by
out-of-control capitalism destroy collective memory: creating a
crisis of belief, a disintegration of symbolic (and financial)
credit. Yet, there is exciting political potential for emerging
socio-technical formations. Stiegler is our twenty-first century
public intellectual."

"The Decadence of Industrial Democracies extends Bernard
Stieglers relentless remapping of hyperindustrial modernity. It is
a key text for anyone who wishes to understand the link between
today's telecratic politics of memory and whatever transformations
stand beyond it. It demonstrates that Stiegler is not just the
radical thinker of technics but also the genealogist of cognitive
morals."
Tom Cohen, State University of New York at Albany
