Stiegler brings together key concepts from Plato, Freud, Derrida and Simondon to argue that the human is invented through technics rather than a product of purely biological evolution. Stiegler is a thinker at the forefront of our contemporary concerns with consumerism, technology, inter-generational division, political apathy and economic crisis.
