Capital/ism: Broken Beyond Repair (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798305727920)

This book of social commentary was born from the paradoxes and contradictions of a world shaped by the relentless logic of capitalism. Across its pages, you will find moments that teeter between humor and despair, capturing the essence of a system that thrives on excess yet leaves so many empty.

The inspiration comes from the profound work of thinkers like Michel Foucault, who revealed how power infiltrates every corner of our lives, crafting not only institutions but also the way we perceive ourselves. Mark Fisher laid bare the haunting effects of capitalism on our psyches, describing a world where even our dreams are colonized by market logic. Byung-Chul Han dissected the exhaustion of a society driven by self-exploitation, while Slavoj Zizek unraveled the ideological fantasies that keep us complicit in systems that harm us.

Each author has exposed layers of control, alienation, and contradiction embedded in the structures we inhabit daily. Their insights have shaped this work, not as a direct translation of their theories but as a distillation of the feelings and ideas they evoke: the sense of being trapped, the absurdity of our pursuits, and the lingering hope for something better.

Through this book, the weight of these complex ideas is made accessible, sometimes with a smirk, other times with a grim nod of recognition. It is an invitation to confront these realities-not through dense prose or lectures, but through the simplicity and universality of line illustration.

This is not a guide, nor is it a solution. It is a reflection of the world as it is, and perhaps, a small nudge toward imagining what it could become.
