We have entered the gateway to the apocalypse. This theological
concept is the best metaphor to describe the world in which we are
already living. Chaos is all around us: political folly, economical
delirium, ecological catastrophe, intellectual cynicism,
technological simulation of life. This is what Franco 'Bifo'
Berardi suggests in this wry, dark, disconcerting but also
brilliant and invigorating journey through the main events that we
have witnessed in recent years. One century after the Communist
revolution, the very idea that the world could be changed for the
better seems dead once and for all. Every time that a new change
occurs nowadays, it seems to be a change for the worse. But the
fact that nothing can save us any more shouldn't be seen as a form
of fatality or a reason for surrender. On the contrary, if our
world is dead, then the space is open for another to appear - a
world where apocalypse can shake us out of our zombie-like
contemporary existence. The second coming of Communism will have
nothing to do with 1917. Apocalypse has to be conceived of as a
metaphor, and Communism is a metaphor too: the metaphor of the
possible deployment of the potentials of the mind.
