Wie die Welt in 1000 Jahren aussehen wird, können wir nur vermuten. Wie dramatisch aber Technik, Wissenschaft und Forschung unser Leben in den kommenden zehn Jahren verändern werden, das hat Mark Stevenson herausgefunden. Und er nimmt uns mit auf eine atemberaubende Tour in die nächste Zukunft: Dort begegnen wir sozial agierenden Robotern (die gleichwohl unter Stimmungsschwankungen leiden), lernen Transhumanisten kennen (die eifrig auf das tausendjährige Leben hinarbeiten), touren mit Spaceshuttles durch die Wüste und entschlüsseln die Geheimnisse der Nanotechnologie. Dabei propagiert Stevenson keineswegs einen blinden Optimismus, sondern öffnet uns die Augen für die unfassbaren Möglichkeiten, die wir haben. Sein Fazit: Die besten Jahre liegen noch vor uns, freuen wir uns drauf!

Splatter Capital

Splatter Capital shows how a popular subgenre of cinematic horror has developed a uniquely sensitive perspective on the cycles of capitalism. It argues that the emphatically messy brand of horror mobilized in gore or "splatter" films is extremely responsive to the internal contradictions that threaten the future sustainability of capitalist accumulation. And, while responding to the prospect of that end, splatter promotes an extant truth: capitalist accumulation is and always has been a nightmare of systematized bloodshed. This book provides an account of that nightmare as told through a combination of economic history and filmic analysis. The story it tells will serve as a source of both theoretical and practical knowledge for surviving the horror movie we collectively inhabit.
