Beskrivning
Language around trauma, anxiety, and burnout is pervasive in our current climate, where it seems like we need superhuman powers just to make it through the day. This book argues that the expectations and living conditions of our society are uniquely destabilizing, producing a “techno-precarious performance self” that markets itself as a product, gets addicted to almost anything, and drives itself to exhaustion. Navigating our way out of this zero-sum game, Ross Channing Reed maintains, will require nothing less than an exploration of our beliefs, values, goals, and the very meanings we attach to life itself. The dismantling of “techno-precarious performance society,” a society rooted in systemic precarity and philosophical nihilism, is absolutely necessary to effectively address our epidemic of trauma and addiction.

Recensioner i media

Reed has made an invaluable contribution to our understanding and healing of systemically-induced illnesses afflicting the developed world. He insightfully examines crises of precarity, stress, trauma, addiction, and meaninglessness that have attained epidemic proportions in our most affluent and technologically-advanced societies. This timely and well-written book provides perceptive analyses of the systemic problems from which these crises arise and propagate. Moreover, it also reinstates the central place of philosophy and its practice as a way of transcending the dehumanizing effects of mechanized health-care, among other soulless institutional providers of essential services.
