Christian Pulver has recently published Metabolizing Capital: Writing, Information, and the Biophysical Environment with Utah State University Press (June 2020). This book builds off of his dissertation titled Metabolizing Capital: Writing, Information, and the Biophysical World, which he defended in 2015. 

About the book:

A posthuman, Marxist analysis of digital culture and writing, Metabolizing Capital contributes to and challenges current understandings of rhetorical agency and actor networks. Combining scholarship from writing studies, rhetoric, and composition with research in metabolic ecology, information theory, media studies, cognitive psychology, history, and new materialism, this book should be of interest to scholars in writing studies as well as others who study digital culture, ecological literacies, the history of writing and information, big data, and environmental concerns related to electronics and the information industries.

Pulver is an Associate Professor of Writing Studies, Rhetoric, and Composition at Roger Williams University.
