Paperback. Alongside scientific knowledge and collective effort, building a degrowth ecological society will require a different set of stories and myths than the big and fast Promethean fables were accustomed to. Using Boormans Zardoz as a tool, Into The Vortex unearths the artistic and intellectual output of the a decelerationist 1970s, with an eye toward imagining a very different sort of future. Against the Vortex uses Boorman's '74 cult sci-fi film as the starting point for exploring a neglected strand of '70s thinkers and artists whose ideas propose a radical degrowth utopia as the horizon to which our politics should be oriented.
