17:40Now PlayingIn the last two weeks, the United States has been teetering on the edge of chaos.
We are led to ask to what extent do such circumstances offer up opportunities for the left and to what extent do we have to get beyond negation and nihilism? In this video we'll consider Eugene Thacker's pessimism as he outlined it in his book "In the Dust of This Planet," consider Slavoj Zizek's insistence that coffee without cream is different than coffee without milk, and dance along to Vincent E.L.'s hit song "F#@* the Fire Department!"

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.
