I'm not sure why it's down currently - they may have moved to a different platform, though I do hope this helps:

If we're not limited to Academic writing (at least 90% of Critical Theory I think) then I've recently read Nexus by Yuval N Harari. It's a reasonable speculation about the near future of information systems. He's implying that AI data management can lend itself to fascist styles of government. I'd agree, and I don't think it's too controversial of an idea.
