We hear all the time that we're moments from doomsday. Around us,
crises interlock and escalate, threatening our collective survival:
Russia's invasion of Ukraine, with its rising risk of nuclear
warfare, is taking place against a backdrop of global warming,
ecological breakdown, and widespread social and economic unrest.
Protestors and politicians repeatedly call for action, but still we
continue to drift towards disaster. We need to do something. But
what if the only way for us to prevent catastrophe is to assume
that it has already happened-to accept that we're already five
minutes past zero hour? Too Late to Awaken sees Slavoj Žižek
forge a vital new space for a radical emancipatory politics that
could avert our course to self-destruction. He illuminates why the
liberal Left has so far failed to offer this alternative, and
exposes the insidious propagandism of the fascist Right, which has
appropriated and manipulated once-progressive ideas. Pithy, urgent,
gutting and witty, Žižek's diagnosis reveals our current
geopolitical nightmare in a startling new light, and shows how, in
order to change our future, we must first focus on changing the
past.
