In the last few years the world has changed in unexpected ways. The
power of radical ideas and groups is growing. What was once
considered extreme is now the mainstream. But what is life like on
the political fringes? What is the real power of radicals? Radicals
is an exploration of the individuals, groups and movements who are
rejecting the way we live now, and attempting to find alternatives.
In it, Jamie Bartlett, one of the world's leading thinkers on
radical politics and technology, takes us inside the strange and
exciting worlds of the innovators, disruptors, idealists and
extremists who think society is broken, and believe they know how
to fix it. From dawn raids into open mines to the darkest recesses
of the internet, Radicals introduces us to some of the most
secretive and influential movements today: techno-futurists
questing for immortality, far-right groups seeking to close
borders, militant environmentalists striving to save the planet's
natural reserves by any means possible, libertarian movements
founding new countries, autonomous cooperatives in self-sustaining
micro-societies, and psychedelic pioneers attempting to heal
society with the help of powerful hallucinogens. As well as
providing a fascinating glimpse at the people and ideas driving
these groups, Radicals also presents a startling argument: radicals
are not only the symptoms of a deep unrest within the world today,
but might also offer the most plausible models for our future.
