Language: Eng.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeter Frase argues that increasing automation and a growing scarcity of resources, thanks to climate change, will bring it all tumbling down. In Four Futures, Frase imagines how this post-capitalist world might look, deploying the tools of both social science and speculative fiction to explore what communism, rentism, socialism, and exterminism might actually entail.Could the current rise of real-life robocops usher in a world that resembles Ender's Game? And sure, communism will bring an end to material scarcities and inequalities of wealth-but there's no guarantee that social hierarchies, governed by an economy of \"likes,\" wouldn't rise to take their place. A whirlwind tour through science fiction, social theory, and the new technologies already shaping our lives, Four Futures is a balance sheet of the socialisms we may reach if a resurgent Left is successful, and the barbarisms we may be consigned to if those movements fail.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Frase","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53094101024992,"sku":"9781541455832","price":160.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/5681\/6608\/files\/81FvpIVawjL._SY522.jpg?v=1781648323","url":"https:\/\/medicalbook.online\/products\/four-futures","provider":"medicalbook.online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
