Description



Book Synopsis



Artificial Intelligence, cyberpunk cinema, Virtual Reality goggles, and the smartphone in your pocket are not just passing fads and mere gadgets. They are visions of a future that does not belong to us. The QR-coded Matrix of Technological Singularity and the "Great Reset" is already upon us - an imminent future in which "us" and "the world" become a problem for troubleshooting. How did we arrive at the abyss of technological dystopia? What is technology? Who are we?

Available only in private circulation until now, Askr Svarte's Tradition and Future Shock: Visions of a Future that Isn't Ours has been called "the most dangerous book in the world" because it poses these questions and exposes their nerves to the extreme at the last minute. The very idea of "progress" is shattered, the concealed nature of technology is exposed, and apocalyptic landscapes are charted through a cutting-edge hermeneutics between the ancient worlds of Myth and the Postmodern "reality" of screens and cyborgs.

Tradition and Future Shock is a finale for the last humans, an awakening right before midnight, a last sacrifice for the sake of a new beginning...
