As an unprecedented global pandemic sweeps the planet, who better
than the supercharged Slovenian philosopher Slavoj i ek to uncover
its deeper meanings, marvel at its mind-boggling paradoxes and
speculate on the profundity of its consequences? We live in a
moment when the greatest act of love is to stay distant from the
object of your affection. When governments renowned for ruthless
cuts in public spending can suddenly conjure up trillions. When
toilet paper becomes a commodity as precious as diamonds. And when,
according to i ek, a new form of communism - the outlines of which
can already be seen in the very heartlands of neoliberalism - may
be the only way of averting a descent into global barbarism.
Written with his customary brio and love of analogies in popular
culture (Quentin Tarantino and H. G. Wells sit next to Hegel and
Marx), i ek provides a concise and provocative snapshot of the
crisis as it widens, engulfing us all.
