13:20Now PlayingFrom Cancel Colbert to the Joker Movie, people act as if deciding whether to like a movie is a life or death issue. How and why did we decide that speech and expression had direct material consequences? When did we decide that the world was no longer real but rather a Spectacle?

Zero Books Manifesto:
The modern world is at an impasse. Disasters scroll across our smartphone screens and we’re invited to like, follow or upvote, but critical thinking is harder and harder to find. Rather than connecting us in common struggle and debate, the internet has sped up and deepened a long-standing process of alienation and atomization.
Zer0 Books wants to work against this trend.
