Uncontrollable Societies of Disaffected Individuals Disbelief and Discredit, Volume 2

"Stiegler is, as usual, several steps ahead of everyone else. In this book he dives into the Dantesque zones of today's hyper-industrial last man to propose the spaces where futures might be re-articulated. Where others recycle past masters or promote an unconvincing mantra of a 'new politics', Stiegler does battle in the twilight zones of a terrestrial civilization entering its afterlife. He is the discrete heir of Nietzsche, Sartre and Derrida today - precisely by his distance from each." Tom Cohen, State University of New York at Albany
