Dystopien der Gegenwart

>Radikalpessimismus< zu überrollen - wie es etwa die Feuilletons gerne behaupten -, arbeitet die Dystopie des 21. Jahrhunderts aktiv und lebensbejahend an der Gestaltung unserer Zukunft mit.

Dystopias have taken the book market by storm in recent years. Where does our fascination with dark future prospects come from? Can dystopias lead us out of the crisis or will they steer us right into it? Alexander Sperling takes a well-founded look at the phenomenon of dystopia and shows in detail how humorous, ironic and constructive those scenarios of decay currently are. Instead of overrunning us with a 'radical pessimism' - as the feuilleton likes to claim - the dystopia of the 21st century works actively and life-affirmingly to shape our future.
