Overview

Dystopia! is a polemic, a prognosis, and a prescription based on historical and current fact, and what I am seeking is nothing less than humanity's apotheosis, or as Voltaire's Candide had it, le meilleur des mondes possibles, which does not have to be a world without humans, only a world with a limited number of humans, doing less. In Dystopia! we will look back from our current state, dystopia, deep into humanity's prehistory, and then to one of two possible futures; one that holds total, global annihilation through overpopulation, hyper-development, and environmental collapse, or a future in which humans have learned to exist in equipoise with nature, and with one another, through transcendental, collective asceticism, and responsible, economic degrowth. Centrally at issue in Dystopia! is how the global corporate state systematically classifies, racializes, and as necessary, marginalizes people through social engineering in order to convert them into a compliant, fungible, collective resource in the furtherance of infinite economic growth, even to the demise of life on Earth.
