Welcome to the Desert of the Real by Slavoj Zizek
This volume proposes that global capitalism is fundamentalist and that America was complicit in the rise of Muslim fundamentalism. It explores the irony that the tragedy of September 11 has been used to legitimize torture. Finally, it analyzes the predominantly Leftist response to the events.
