Four Futures

Before getting into de Conclusions, my punctuation was three stars, for the same reason Frase said in this last chapter: “But none of these model societies are meant to represent something that could be implemented overnight, in a complete transformation of current social relations. Indeed, probably none of them is possible at all in a pure form; history is simply too messy for that, and real societies exceed the parameters of any theoretical model”.
What I really enjoy, is the relation with movies and books that Frase does through the book, making the explanation easier and understanding his examples. What I do not like that much is how utopian his writing was. We really need a new/better future, for sure. But I think it is not going to be just one of them itself but a configuration of many of them.

“Things in our world may not play out with such literal deceptions, but we can already see how our political and economic elites manage to justify ever-higher levels of misery and death while remaining convinced that they are great humanitarians” Pos. 1616
