Review of Byung-Chul Han’s Non-Things Upheaval in the Lifeworld
Shanghai Literary Review
(2023)
Abstract
The material world is slowly fading away as humans transition to the ghostly space of the infosphere. Composed of hyper information and digitization, the infosphere circumscribes our experience of the world and diminishes our humanity. Philosopher Byung-Chul Han’s book Non-things: Upheaval in the Lifeworld is an aesthetic call to “re-romanticize” and “re-materialize” our relationship to the world.
