Description
The concept of the future has been a driving force behind modern society for over a century. From F. T. Marinetti's Futurist Manifesto to the punk movement of the 1970s, and from the media revolution of the 1990s to the current era of virtual life, the idea of a future has been constantly evolving. In "After the Future", Franco Berardi explores the genesis of future-oriented thought, tracing its development from the early 20th century to the present day. He argues that the concept of the future has lost its usefulness, and that it is now our responsibility to decide what comes next. Drawing on his own involvement with the Autonomia movement and his collaboration with leading thinkers of the European political left, Berardi presents a nuanced analysis of the state of the contemporary working class and charts a course out of the modern dystopian moment. Berardi's work offers a thought-provoking analysis of the state of contemporary society, and is a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate about the future of our world.
