La servitud dels protocols

The Servitude of Protocols | Arcadia, 2025

We live in societies so complex that protocols, automation processes, and control mechanisms imperatively govern our lives. Now, more than ever, digital environments shape our worldview, dictate our time, and overwhelm our attention. Platform capitalism has taken over. Surrendering to the power of massive technological infrastructures, we compete in the arena of social networks, absorb endless online resources, and lose the ability to imagine that another reality is possible. Imagination and desire have been cast aside.

In The Servitude of Protocols, Ingrid Guardiola offers pathways to reclaim our own way of seeing the world, to forge new connections, foster mutuality, and regain a meaningful life—one free from the false liberty promised by technological fetishism.
