Deleuze and Diagnosis: A Remark on the “Postscript”

As Alexander Galloway observes in an essay called “Computers and the Superfold,” Gilles Deleuze’s 1990 “Postscript on the Societies of Control” is a highly unusual text, when compared to the philosopher’s larger oeuvre: “Such a strange little text” (Galloway 2012: 513), it is indeed very different from the earlier Deleuze of Difference and Repetition and The Logic of Sense, or the Deleuze who wrote the two-volume magnum opus Capitalism and Schizophrenia in tandem with Félix Guattari. How to read not only its peculiarity within Deleuze’s work as a whole, but also its particularity as a text that belongs to a certain genre?
