Living in the End Times is a book by Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek published by Verso Books in 2010.[1]

Summary

Žižek shows the cultural and political forms of these stages of ideological avoidance and political protest, from New Age obscurantism to violent religious fundamentalism. Concluding with a compelling argument for the return of a Marxian critique of political economy, Žižek also divines the wellsprings of a potentially communist culture—from literary utopias like Kafka’s community of mice to the collective of freak outcasts in the television series Heroes.
