Alaa Abd El-Fattah
“Still, while refusing the idea of prison as metaphor, he is, throughout, preoccupied with the ways technically free people are nonetheless confined and entrapped—by black box algorithms and, more profoundly, by the way capitalist logics constrain imaginations, preventing contemporary movements from”
