Slavoj Žižek: Signs from the Future

Slavoj Žižek joins How To Academy for an evening examining what may lie ahead as the global liberal order fractures. Combining philosophical analysis with dark humor, Žižek addresses genocide, techno-feudalism, and the planetary crisis while considering the sources of contemporary despair and whether any fragile hope for the future remains.

Now 77, Žižek is presented as an erudite, comic, ironic, and uncompromising thinker whose work ventures into difficult questions about the direction of the world.
