Cover of Marc Augé: The Future (ePUB)

For Marc Aug�, best-selling author of
Non-Places, the prevailing idea of ‘the Future’ rests on our present fears of the contemporary world. It is to the future that we look for redemption and progress; but it is also where we project our personal and apocalyptic anxieties. By questioning notions of certainty, truth, and totality, Aug� finds ways to separate the future from our eternal, terrified present and liberates the mind to allow it to conceptualize our possible futures afresh.
