Daniel Ross obtained his doctorate from Monash University in 2002. He is the author of Violent Democracy (Cambridge University Press, 2004) and Psychopolitical Anaphylaxis: Steps Towards a Metacosmics (Open Humanities Press, 2021 -free to download). He is also the co-director with David Barison of the feature documentary The Ister (rent or buy on Vimeo), which premiered at the Rotterdam International Film Festival in 2004, and which won awards in Montreal and Marseille. Through that film, he met the French philosopher Bernard Stiegler, and has subsequently published eleven volumes of translation of Stiegler’s work, most recently The Age of Disruption: Technology and Madness in Computational Capitalism (Polity Press, 2019) and Nanjing Lectures 2016–2019 (Open Humanities Press, 2020 - free to download), along with the collective volume by Stiegler and the Internation Collective entitled Bifurcate: ‘There Is No Alternative’ (Open Humanities Press, 2022 - free to download).

In this episode, our focus is on the fourth volume in Stieglers's Technics and Time series. Here's Dan's summary (approx. 10,000 words) of the unpublished manuscript of Bernard Stiegler, Technics and Time, 4: Faculties and Functions of Noesis in the Post-Truth Age (approx. 100,000 words), which was written in 2017: https://www.academia.edu/84134776/A_Summary_of_Bernard_Stiegler_Technics_and_Time_4
