Reviews

"A powerful reflection on our times, our condition, and the fate of our civilization,
as revealed by the catastrophe of Fukushima."

"Leave it to Jean-Luc Nancy to take an event like the Fukushima nuclear
disaster and turn it into an occasion for rethinking the essence of capitalism,
globalization, the fate of the Earth, and the future of democracy."
