The unconventional philosopher returns to examine today's ideological, political, and economic struggles, asking whether radical changes are possible. In these difficult times, even the most pessimistic diagnosis of our future ends with an encouraging note that perhaps things are not as bad as they seem, that there is light at the end of the tunnel. However, as Slavoj Zizek argues, it is only possible to bring about fundamental changes once we acknowledge that our situation is completely hopeless – that the light at the end of the tunnel is indeed the headlight of a train coming towards us from the opposite direction. Zizek explores the various challenges in today's world, from mass migration and geopolitical tensions to terrorism, the rise of right-wing populism, and the emergence of new radical politics – all expressions of the dead ends of global capitalism.
