I am currently working on a book entitled, Tales of the Late Human: Autocolonialism and Extinction. My monograph develops the concept of autocolonialism to describe how digital platforms represent a fundamental shift in colonial extraction—one where individuals voluntarily participate in their own surveillance and data colonization by uploading intimate details to corporate platforms like Google, Facebook, and Amazon. Unlike territorial colonialism (requiring military occupation) or neocolonialism (operating through economic dependency), autocolonialism operates through high-speed, real-time data extraction that transcends borders and transforms every user into a node in a distributed colony, with control presenting itself as convenience and extraction as participation. The book traces this evolution from historical colonialism through five chapters examining platform capitalism, AI systems, the East India Company's legacy, molecular biology's commodification of genetic existence, and how ecological extinction becomes monetized—ultimately arguing that we face a "late human" condition where life itself is transformed into a technologically mediated commodity.
