Living in the End Times by Slavoj Zizek
There should no longer be any doubt: global capitalism is fast approaching its terminal crisis. This title identifies the four horsemen of this coming apocalypse: the worldwide ecological crisis; imbalances within the economic system; the biogenetic revolution; and, exploding social divisions and ruptures.
The result is, as usual, a compendium of long passages of fierce brilliance.. Zizek is consistently penetrating. -- Steven Poole * Guardian *
Never ceases to dazzle. -- Brian Dillon * Daily Telegraph *
The thinker of choice for Europe's young intellectual vanguard ... to witness Zizek in full flight is a wonderful and at times alarming experience, part philosophical tightrope-walk, part performance-art marathon, part intellectual roller-coaster ride. -- Sean O'Hagan * Observer *
Wide-ranging, often revelatory, frequently bewildering. -- Helen Brown * Daily Telegraph *
A giddying combination of exhilaration and perplexity, an addictive high-speed chase with bewildering changes in terrain that for the reader necessitate multiple gear shifts, sudden U-turns, three- and four-point turns, elegant loops and impossibly narrow angles to negotiate. * Irish Left Review *
The most dangerous philosopher in the West. -- Adam Kirsch * The New Republic *
