Epilogue: The Logic of Indifference

This chapter explains why the book has used the language of neutrality, instead of the more common term—alienation—to highlight the problems of global labor and social life. Attempting a non-normative analysis with a nonprescriptive ethic, this chapter points out divergent tracks of global life where independent prescriptions from different spheres preclude any universal, all-inclusive norm for unalienated labor. Defining neutrality as indifference to difference, the chapter is a philosophical meditation on the choreography of biological, social, and psychic life, and its global unraveling.
