In recent years, techno-scientific progress has started to utterly transform our world - changing it almost beyond recognition. In this extraordinary new audiobook, renowned philosopher Slavoj Zizek turns to look at the brave new world of Big Tech, revealing how, with each new wave of innovation, we find ourselves moving closer and closer to a bizarrely literal realization of Marx’s prediction that “all that is solid melts into air”. With the automation of work, the virtualization of money, the dissipation of class communities, and the rise of immaterial, intellectual labor, the global capitalist edifice is beginning to crumble, more quickly than ever before - and it is now on the verge of vanishing entirely.
But what will come next? Against a backdrop of constant socio-technological upheaval, how could any kind of authentic change take place? In such a context, Zizek argues, there can be no great social triumph - because lasting revolution has already come into the scene, like a thief in broad daylight, stealing into sight right before our very eyes. What we must do now is wake up and see it.
Urgent as ever, Like a Thief in Broad Daylight illuminates the new dangers as well as the radical possibilities thrown up by today’s technological and scientific advances and their electrifying implications for us all.

There’s always an exuberantly cheerful absence of anything resembling substantive coherence from ol’ Slavoj, but at least his handlers successfully prevailed upon him not to read the audiobook.
The only solution is, apparently still, revolution. Power to the pretentious postulate, right on.

Will give be this a try based on comment quality and presume the book is more coherent than the marketing blurb

Zizek: The worst of the “theorists” who ran ring around Jordan Peterson. No wonder they hate “critical theory”.

Heck, even ole Noam Chomsky is purdy darned underappreciative of this fashion. He denounces Žižek, Lacan, and Derrida, for dissembling trivial ideas behind obscure and specious language to make them seem profound & significant.
“There’s no ‘theory’ in any of this stuff, not in the sense of theory that anyone is familiar with in the sciences or any other serious field. Try to find in all of the work you mentioned some principles from which you can deduce conclusions, empirically testable propositions where it all goes beyond the level of something you can explain in five minutes to a twelve-year-old. See if you can find that when the fancy words are decoded. I can’t. So I’m not interested in that kind of posturing. Žižek is an extreme example of it.”
Well, metacritical miaow! Pedagogical pistols at dawn.
Žižek’s analysis of film has been entertaining in the past (especially in the two documentaries from Sophie Fiennes - Ralph’s sister) - but Noam & all the other critics of this stuff are not wrong. No substance & no coherence. The emperor remains, regrettably, unclothed. Never forget the Sokal affair/hoax (did he die for nothing, etc.)
