Critics Review
Does more than merely scratch the surface … ultimately, Bifo advocates for the limitless power of imagination and irony as the only antidotes in a world urging to be rebuilt from scratch. * Bookslut *
As a diagnostician, Berardi is among the sharpest. * Slate *
An exquisite reading of our historical situation. – Michael Robbins * Chicago Tribune *
Bifo is a master of global activism in the age of depression. His mission is to understand real existing capitalism. Sense the despair of the revolt, enjoy this brilliant ‘labour of the negative’! – Geert Lovink, Founding Director of the Institute of Network Cultures
