Hito no shi o meguru seimei rinri Book

Oh man, this is so much better than the Society of the Spectacle. In The Society of the Spectacle Debord had kind of a naive optimism going on. This, on the other hand, is a wonderfully pessimistic critique of capitalism. Essentially claims that capitalism has absorbed all of its alternatives. There are no other options. We are all fucked. But the best part? Well, that would be Debord hinting to us that we still need to make the fuckers pay. Even if winning is impossible it is still worth it to try and destroy it all. I'm not sure exactly what his reasoning is, but I suspect it has something to do with sweet revenge.

It should also be noted that where the Society of the Spectacle was pretentious and somewhat unoriginal(what did Debord say that Marx had not already stated?), this book is very straight forward and free of confused hipster jargon. One gets the sense that Debord actually believes what he is saying this time and the conclusions he comes to are absolutely horrifying.
