Trouble in Paradise: Communism After The End Of History

To analyse our current predicament, the celebrated philosopher draws on everything from music videos and Batman to Marx and Lacan. Laying bare the workings of the capitalist system, Žižek outlines the future that awaits us if we do not demand radical change, and explores the possibilities - and the traps - of new emancipatory battles. Our new heroes, he explains, should be Julian Assange, Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden. But can we follow their example and break out of ideological constraints? Trouble in Paradise shows that we absolutely have to do so unless we want to live in a world full of zombies and vampires.
