  • The Disappearance of Rituals

    A Topology of the Present

These tumours endlessly metastasize and grow with an inexplicable, deadly vitality. At a certain point this growth is no longer productive, but rather destructive. Capitalism passed this point long ago. Its destructive forces cause not only ecological and social catastrophes ... Read more

  • The Burnout Society

    by Byung-Chul Han ...
    Our competitive, service-oriented societies are taking a toll on the late-modern individual.
