Entropic Empire: On the City of Man in the Age of Disaster

Exploring the concept of an "entropic empire," the author examines the current global crises, including climate change and political unrest. He contrasts the "state of exception" (tyranny) with the "state of nature" (anarchy), suggesting that these opposing forces shape our chaotic world. Blending post-historical sci-fi with philosophical inquiry, the book raises critical questions about humanity's trajectory and whether we are regressing into a prehistorical state. De Cauter challenges readers to consider the implications of our planetary state of emergency.
