Like A Thief In Broad Daylight cover

The latest analysis from the maverick philosopher on the dark side of technology and power.

In our brave new world of Big Tech, work is automated and money melts into air. What comes next as the global capitalist edifice crumbles? Slavoj Žižek shows how the answer is already stealing into sight, like a thief in broad daylight. What we must do is wake up and see it.
