About this listen

Analyzes the current wave of depression, or "desertion," that is causing more and more people to abandon hope and desire in a world where social, political, and environment collapse seems inevitable.

Depression is rife amongst young people the world over. But what if this isn't depression as we know it, but instead a reaction to the chaos and collapse of a seemingly unchangeable and unlivable future?

In Quit Everything, Franco Berardi argues that this "depression" is actually conscious or unconscious withdrawal of psychological energy and a dis-investment of desire that he defines instead as "desertion." A desertion from political participation, from the daily grind of capitalism, from the brutal reality of climate collapse, and from a society which offers nothing but chaos and pain.

Berardi analyzes why this desertion is on the rise and why more people are quitting everything in our age of political impotence and the rise of the far-right, asking if we can find some political hope in desertion amongst the ruins of a world on the brink of collapse.

THE MOST TERRIBLE READER/NARRATOR - AVOID!!!!

i listen to a considerable amount of audiobooks, many of which are of the theory/philosophy/nonfiction ilk - i have learned not to bristle at many mispronunciations (including the fact that 95% of these readings pronounce “kant” as “can’t”) - but this one absolutely takes the cake. the errors are so egregious and the voice so robotic that i actually took the time to make sure this was an actual voice actor and not a speech-to-text scam. i honestly wish i had saved my money and used a screen reader software to recite a pdf to me… yes, it’s that bad.
