Özet

Brought to you by Penguin.

We hear all the time that we're moments from doomsday. Around us, crises interlock and escalate, threatening our collective survival: Russia's invasion of Ukraine, with its rising risk of nuclear warfare, is taking place against a backdrop of global warming, ecological breakdown, and widespread social and economic unrest. Protestors and politicians repeatedly call for action, but still we continue to drift towards disaster. We need to do something. But what if the only way for us to prevent catastrophe is to assume that it has already happened - to accept that we're already five minutes past zero hour?

Too Late to Awaken sees Slavoj Žižek forge a vital new space for a radical emancipatory politics that could avert our course to self-destruction. He illuminates why the liberal Left has so far failed to offer this alternative, and exposes the insidious propagandism of the fascist Right, which has appropriated and manipulated once-progressive ideas. Pithy, urgent, gutting and witty, Žižek's diagnosis reveals our current geopolitical nightmare in a startling new light, and shows how, in order to change our future, we must first focus on changing the past.

Always entertaining to read Zizek and there are some great vignettes here, but behind all the verbiage and references to Hegel is a kind of millennial hysteria. I don't disagree that the future is dark, but his recipe for mitigation, especially his views on how to deal with Putin, would make it darker still.

Typical Zizek

Provocative observations. Varied and often surprising cultural references make for an interesting listen. But ultimately it's simply and depresssingly accurate when assessing the human world in 2024. If anyone can recommend a book that makes some more hopeful conclusions I would welcome the chance to read it.

Food for thought

there are some good insights but nothing particularly fresh or original. and what is there is kind of overshadowed by long winded and confusing anecdotes.

messily structured, unoriginal rants.

The title of the book is misleading. It is not about megathreats and how to cope as an individual or a citizen. Instead there is an old fashioned ultra leftwing ramble with Russian history and the Ukraine war as a central theme. This is the same nonsense that politically motivated students were spouting at UK university sit ins in the 1960s. Not worth reading. I regret abandoning it after too long expecting greater breadth and depth.
The narration was technically fine, but wasted.

eccentric rambling discourse on Russian history

Little novelty, light on theory, a long drawn out critique of Putin’s Russia with very little of the nuance Zizek’s regular readership might expect.

Very disappointing
