In this video, we will challenge Deleuze and Guattari’s theories of Schizophrenia and the Body without Organs using Baudrillard theories of hyperreality and the code to cultivate a better understanding of the system that David occupies in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. We highlight how cybernetic integration and hyperreality condition David’s schizophrenic process, how David’s acceleration towards cyber-psychosis traces a Deleuzian line of flight, but across Baudrillardian, hyper-curved, space which inflexes any trajectory back into capital’s orbit.
This is part two of a three-part series on post-modern thought through the lens of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Be sure to Like, Share, and Subscribe to see more content like this.
