The myth of human
progress, the unexamined belief in the ability of our industrial
and technological society to save us from collapse, is a form of
magical thinking. These forces, in fact, will ensure that the
descent will be swifter and more brutal. Chris Hedges will
examine this myth and others that have left us collectively
self-deluded. He will look at effective forms of resistance and
rebellion in an age of totalitarian capitalism and at ways to
keep our lives whole and sane as we begin to face the great
unraveling.
