In a characteristically explosive sequence of salvos, Ljubljana's most famous philosopher takes a critical and unique look at the war in Ukraine, Hollywood blockbusters, and other provocations, ranging from sexual politics in India to the prospects for a new Cold War. Among the questions Zizek considers are: Is the giant orgy, planned to take place in Ukraine in the event of a Russian nuclear attack, really all that morbid? And what should society do, whether on the big screen or the battlefield, in preparation for the end of the world?

Agree with him or not, Zizek rarely fails to provoke. By examining matters through a lens that is both bold and original, as well as on regular occasions joyfully outlandish, Zizek helps us to better grasp a world in which, increasingly, the dominant motif is one of utter madness.
