  1. Slavoj Žižek _ Mapping Ideology

    Up to a decade or two ago, the system production-nature {man's productive-exploitative relationship with nature and its resources} was perceived as a constant, whereas everybody was busy imagining different forms of the social organization of production and commerce {Fascism or Communism as alternatives to liberal capitalism}; today, as Fredric Jameson perspicaciously remarked, nobody seriously considers possible alternatives to capitalism any longer, whereas popular imagination is persecuted by the visions of the forthcoming 'breakdown of nature', of the stoppage of all life on earth – it seems easier to imagine the 'end of the world' than a far more modest change in the mode of production, as if liberal capitalism is the 'real' that will somehow survive even under conditions of a global ecological catastrophe.

  2. Kim Stanley Robinson _ New York 2140

    One thought ever at the fore--That in the Divine Ship, the World, breasting Time and Space, All Peoples of the globe together sail, sail the same voyage, are bound to the same destination. I see Freedom, completely arm'd and victorious and very haughty, with Law on one side and Peace on the other, A stupendous trio all issuing forth against the idea of caste; What historic denouements are these we so rapidly approach?
