Monumental: Power, Corruption & the Struggle for a Just Society by Nick Mcfarlane
In a world teetering on the edge of chaos, where the dream of civilization often turns into a nightmare of control and oppression - with war and aggression, bankrupt economies, and fractured societies, buckling under the weight of injustice. Monumental explores these issues, exposing the dark undercurrents of power that twist noble intentions into self-serving agendas. This is more than a book; it's an escape manual to combat the subversive forces shaping and controlling our lives. But if it all does come tumbling down, who would you trust to get us out of this mess without fatal injury - humans, AI, or primates? Because we may fancy ourselves an advanced civilization, but the truth is we're no better than a primitive tribe of hairless apes, squabbling over turf, driven by primal urges, and obsessed with alpha status. Monumental weaves an epic fable into a critical analysis of society, examining the intricate power dynamics and corrupting influences that govern the world around us. It has been created through a combination of human creativity, AI innovation, and primate behaviour to explore civilization's hidden power structures. In a world often shrouded in complexity and ambiguity, Monumental taps into our profound desire to make sense of reality, be engaged in the conversation, and fight for a just society.
McFarlane, Nick: - Nick McFarlane and Chlo� Baxter are artists, designers and truth bomb detonators. As Wolf&Co operatives, their mission is to resist the bland, blow up boredom and make the world more massive through art. Nick is the author and graphic agitator Spinfluence. He also produced the cover art for The Prodigy's chart-topping album The Day is My Enemy. Nick thrives at the collision point of pop-culture and social-insanity, creating work which is both abrasive and insightful. Chloe is the globe trotting creative connector and curator who has marshalled an army of artists from around the world to rise up, confront conformity and stick it to the man!
