Summary

This is the "Das Kapital" of the 20th century - an essential text, and the main theoretical work of the Situationists. Few works of political and cultural theory have been as enduringly provocative. From its publication amid the social upheavals of the 1960s up to the present, the volatile theses of this book have decisively transformed debates on the shape of modernity, capitalism, and everyday life in the 21st century. This is the original translation by Fredy Perlman, kept in print continuously for the last 50 years, keeping the flame of personal and collective autonomy alive.

Written like mathematical physics book.

I don't agree with everything he said. But overall it is very solid book. I would definitely recommend.

Complex

Difficult to follow...understood the general gist but loses the listener with overly complex use of language
