Radicals

In "Radicals," Jamie Bartlett, one of the world's leading thinkers on radical politics and technology, takes readers into the strange and exciting worlds of innovators, disruptors, idealists, and extremists who believe that something is fundamentally wrong with modern society—and that we can do better. Bartlett introduces some of the most significant movements of our time: techno-futurists seeking immortality; far-right groups wanting to close borders; militant environmental activists determined to save the planet by any means necessary; psychedelic pioneers aiming to heal society through powerful hallucinogens. The success of democratic societies depends on our ability to listen to the radical movements among us—and in some cases, to learn from them. Their views may be extreme.
