随着新自由主义乌托邦的瓦解，当今时代最伟大的思想陈词滥调是，通讯科技可以产生积极的社会动力，并改善经济和政治条件。网路提供了克服现代现实困境的工具，并使人与人之间更加紧密联系。但从近期发生的事件表明，科技实际上是进一步拉开人类彼此的距离。

本书被Babelia El País评为年度十大最佳书籍之一，其着眼於新自由主义乌托邦近代瓦解的根源。首先是对网络拜物（cyber-fetishist）提出的质疑，这一点让人深陷思考与科技的消极关系在解决长期分歧方面是发挥积极作用的。

作者声称全球资讯网是在降低而非增强社会现实感。换句话说，其降低了我们对政治干预和人际关系的期望。为了纠正这种情势，作者有野心地针对对立政治传统重新评估，以证明後资本主义不仅是一种可以力图争取的可行和密切友好的体系，而且也是克服消费主义和政治弊病的必要条件。

书评

The enthralling Sociophobia urges us to critically rethink certain fundamental terms of our times, such as cooperation, compromise, community, and participation, and it reminds us of the extent to which we are only partially rational beings―fragile, and wholly codependent. -- Lucía del Moral Espín ― Revista Redes

Rendueles's book transcends the national context in which it was written, and, without exaggeration, goes to the heart of the contemporary problem of political organization, as it concerns radical protest and resistance movements. The refreshing aspect of Sociophobia is its sober approach to the role of new media in fomenting alternative political structures. -- Michael Marder, IKERBASQUE Research Professor of Philosophy at the University of the Basque Country and professor at large in the Humanities Institute at the University of Diego Portales

Sociophobia is already a landmark book in the Spanish-language world. With his contrarian perspective on the emancipatory capability of social networks, copyleft, and other forms of activism in the digital era, Rendueles will have a major impact on global debates about technology and postcapitalism. -- Ignacio Sánchez Prado, Washington University in St. Louis
