Where are we today and what is to be done? Slavoj Zizek ponders
these questions in this unique and timely book. Based on live
interviews, the book captures Zizek at his irrepressible best,
elucidating such topics as the uprisings of the Arab Spring, the
global financial crisis, populism in Latin America, the rise of
China and even the riddle of North Korea. Zizek dazzles readers
with his analyses of Hollywood films, Venezuelan police reports,
Swedish crime fiction and much else. Wherever the conversation
turns, his energetic mind illuminates unexpected horizons. While
analyzing our present predicaments, Zizek also explores
possibilities for change. What sort of society is worth striving
for? Why is it difficult to imagine alternative social and
political arrangements? What are the bases for hope? A key
obligation in our troubled times, argues Zizek, is to dare to ask
fundamental questions: we must reflect and theorize anew, and
always be prepared to rethink and redefine the limits of the
possible. These original and compelling conversations, many
appearing here for the first time in English, offer an engaging and
accessible introduction to one of the most important thinkers of
our time.
