Byung-Chul Han.
Most in the US don't know his work well because his work was only translated recently (from German ... he was born in Korea, grew up in Germany). He writes a lot about what it is to be human in tech-driven late stage capitalism.
I'm particularly fascinated by what he has to say about the ramifications of social media giving rise to a culture of transparency that pushes oversharing at the expense of other values such as respect, privacy, shame, secrecy and trust.

No one will remember anything in 100 years because social control via technology will have reached its full form long ago and the people in charge will have memory holed everything and revised history to ensure social stability just like in 1984
