(Nick Srnicek & Alex Williams, 2015).
A bold manifesto for life after capitalism. Against the confused understanding of our high-tech world by both the right and the left, this book claims that the emancipatory and future-oriented possibilities of our society can be reclaimed.

(Olga Ravn, 2022).
The near-distant future, millions of miles from Earth. The crew of the Six-Thousand Ship consists of those who were born, and those who were made; those who will die, and those who will
not. When the ship takes on board a number of strange organic objects from a newly discovered planet, the crew find themselves becoming deeply attached to them. Olga Ravn explores what it really means to be human, while questioning the logic of productivity and a life governed by work.
