Abstract
In this paper we are going to use the "monstrous" as a way to think through the excess that accompanies the capitalist/technocratic economic principle of maximum performance via the unlocking of all potentialities. In our analysis we will utilize certain texts and concepts by Nietzsche, Bataille, Deleuze and Guattari as well as Samuel Weber and Niklas Luhmann. We shall further focus on the figure of the scientific or "secular" zombie as it functions as a new form of monstrosity, one that functions as a rhizomatic, acephallus network which is unleashed via the ultimate utilization of scientific performance.
