The Extreme Self
summary
New book "The Extreme Self" argues social media turns feelings into raw material and names this emotional capitalism, claiming the digital economy now uses 10 percent of the world's electricity (what powered the planet in 1985) and that transporting data consumes 50% more energy than aviation. The work pairs a 13‑chapter manifesto with artist‑designed pages and a DIY "Remember Nature" project of 140 instruction pieces for ecological action; new volume "How Are You?" is announced.
