| |
| − | In [[recent]] years, techno-[[scientific]] [[progress]] has started to utterly transform our [[world]] – changing it almost beyond [[recognition]]. In this extraordinary new book, renowned [[philosopher]] [[Slavoj Žižek]] turns to look at the brave new world of Big Tech, revealing how, with each new wave of innovation, we find ourselves moving closer and closer to a bizarrely literal realisation of Marx’s prediction that ‘all that is solid melts into air.’ With the automation of [[work]], the virtualisation of [[money]], the dissipation of [[class]] communities and the rise of immaterial, [[intellectual]] labour, the [[global]] [[capitalist]] edifice is beginning to crumble, more quickly than ever before-and it is now on the verge of vanishing entirely.

| − | But what will come next? Against a backdrop of constant socio-technological upheaval, how could any kind of authentic [[change]] take [[place]]? In such a context, Žižek argues, there can be no great [[social]] triumph – because lasting [[revolution]] has already come into the [[scene]], like a thief in broad daylight, stealing into [[sight]] [[right]] before our very eyes. What we must do now is wake up and see it.
