| Summary: | Our economic situation, political discourse and future prospects have gotten much worse since a guy brought a sign that said "Shit is Fucked Up and Bullshit" to the Occupy Wall Street protests. We all knew what he meant then, but where are we now? And how has so much happened since the so-called end of history? Malcolm Harris, one of our sharpest and most versatile critics, tackles these questions in over thirty new and selected pieces, examining everything from the lowering of wages to the rise of fascism, and the maddening cultural landscape in between. Along the way, he cops to being the guy who tricked protestors into thinking Radiohead was playing Occupy Wall Street, investigates why the robots that will replace us so often look like sex objects and, most comfortingly, assures us that Marx saw the necessity of a crisis moment just like the one we're in. |
