We talk about Jack Womack's "Random acts of senseless violence" - a "minute into the future" dystopia told from the perspective of a 12 year old girl. It's gritty and depressing, just our speed.
Topics include:
- How this is a horror story for the Bourgeois
- The atomization of daily life
- Hobbesian themes
- Derrida and the duality between center and periphery
- The merits of a political book with no obvious villain
- The violence/mundanity barrier
