Our world is a complex, sophisticated system but also an increasingly chaotic and barbaric one. Due to the war on terror, the dualization of our world under neoliberalism, global warming, the ongoing demographic explosion and migration, chaos and anarchy are becoming part of our world system in a new way. We are entering a planetary state of emergency. One could call it the ‘New World Disorder’ or ‘Entropic Empire’. Ultimately this book tries to fathom the political condition of a coming era. The simple but worrying question is: Are we falling out of history?
