* Slavoj Zizek is one of the most widely-read and controversial philosophers writing today.

As an unprecedented pandemic sweeps the planet, who better than the supercharged Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek to uncover its deeper meanings, marvel at its paradoxes and speculate on the profundity of its consequences? Written with his customary brio, Zizek provides a provocative snapshot of the crisis as it widens, engulfing us all.

"With irrepressible humour Slavoj eZiezek dissects our current political and social climate, discussing everything from Jordan Peterson and sex 'unicorns' to Greta Thunberg and Chairman Mao. This is eZiezek's attempt to elucidate the major political issues of the day from a truly radical left position"--

No other Marxist text has come close to achieving the fame of The Communist Manifesto. But is it still relevant? Slavoj Zizek argues that even if Marx's analysis cannot be applied to global capitalism without revision, the fundamental problem he identified, that of the commons in all its dimensions, remains as relevant as ever.
