We hear all the time that it's five minutes to global doomsday, so now is our last chance to avert disaster. But what if the only way to prevent a catastrophe is to assume that is has already happened - that we're already five minutes past zero hour? Why do we seem unable to avert our course to self-destruction? Too Late to Awaken sees Slavoj Žižek deliver his most forceful, hopeful account of our discontents yet. Surveying the interlocking crises we currently face - global warming, war, famine, disease - he points us towards the radical, emancipatory politics that we need in order to halt our drift towards disaster. Pithy, urgent, cutting and witty, Žižek's diagnosis reveals our current geopolitical nightmare in a startling new light, and shows why, in order to change our future, we must reimagine our past.

Interesting, Honest, Easy to read

Zizek's characteristic style, applied to the current world, has some interesting insights and valuable criticism. Easy to read, though given the rapidly changing state of affairs some of the comments are dated - for instance, the Gaza genocide being one significant development since the book was published with important implications on the topics the book addresses.
