| Résumé: | Prometheus and Gaia' examines the ideological currents known as Futurism and Eco-Pessimism. While these tendencies are rarely spoken about explicitly, especially in mainstream discourse, they do have strong (if subterranean) influences on today?s popular politics. In light of the existential threats posed by climate change, nuclear proliferation, disruptive technologies (especially bioengineering and AI) and looming economic crises, many have grown weary of the ?small fixes? offered by conventional politicians. Worsening climate change, to take one example, appears to be a problem that ?reducing, reusing, and recycling,? or non-binding treaties, are inadequate to remedy. Likewise, perennial economic crises seem too large and too systemic a threat compared to the moderate ?fixes? of quantitative easing and government bailouts. If the system, itself, is the problem, then some radical change appears necessary |
