Against the Vortex book launch

This is a recording of a book launch of Anthony Galluzzo’s Against the Vortex: Zardoz and Degrowth Utopias in the Seventies and Today — in which he examines our society’s techno-utopianism and attempts to chart a new way forward past our dead-end productivist society.

I moderated the discussion by stayed mostly out of the way. It was a great talk. Check it out, follow Anthony, and buy his book!

PS: We had Anthony on a couple of times in the past, including to talk about his book. Check out those eps here and here.
