Heroes: Mass Murder and Suicide, Berardi Francesco

Spanning an array of horrors - the Aurora Joker killer; Anders Breivik; American school massacres; the suicide epidemic in Korea and Japan; and the recent spate of austerity suicides in Europe - Heroes dares to explore the darkest shadow cast by the contemporary obsession with relentless competition and hyper-connectivity. In a volume that crowns four decades of radical intellectual work, Berardi develops the psychoanalytical insights of his friend F lix Guattari and proposes dystopian irony as a strategy to disentangle ourselves from the deadly embrace of absolute capitalism.
