Pretend This Is A Cellphone

In a world full of Fake news, fake faces, fake writers and fake artists, why not fake a smartphone? Pretend that is your skin and words, pretend this is your cellphone. In here, you will find provocations about tech innovation and traditional fascism. Disclaimer: It comes with an irreversible Blue light filter but there is no guarantee it will improve your sleep.

Pretend This Is A Cellphone is the latest bilingual non-fiction pocket book from Plataforma9, and was presented for the first time at A Feira do Livro in São Paulo, in June 2023. It includes an article originally published in English in AK Press's exuberant anti-fascist anthology called No Pasarán!: Antifascist Dispatches from a World in Crisis. Followed by an article originally published online at Le Monde Diplomatique, about the author's experience infiltrating Bolsonarista virtual groups; an article originally published in English in the academic journal CyberOrient, on digital monitoring of immigrants in the US and integration policies in the European Union; and finally, a short essay on the rise of Fintechs as they consider themselves to be at the forefront of financial inclusion and the fight against poverty.
