After the End
Fragments of the Apocalypse Industry
Pre-order Now:
"Rafael Holmberg’s After the End challenges much of the contemporary political doxa when it comes to the question of the end of capitalism and the end of the world. Rather than accepting the truism that we should politicize ontological questions, Holmberg proposes the daring wager that what we really require today is treating political questions—such as the end of capitalism—through an ontological lens. Until we confront politics philosophically, we will remain stuck in the same political dead ends. It’s a book that forces whole new lines of thought."
Todd McGowan
"The indefinability of “the end” will endlessly haunt any reader of After the End. Does any attempt - theological, political, ecological - to pronounce an end dissolve into its own repetition? Does apocalypse cancel itself out through perverse self-perpetuation? The reader will finish the book, but fail to be done with Holmberg's enigmatic meditation."
