After being entranced by the exotic allure of life in the Middle East during a five-year stint in Saudi Arabia, an irresistible opportunity for an extreme adventure in the Moroccan Sahara presents itself. Coupled with the unexpected eruption of a volcano in Iceland, the stage is set for a non-stop, exhilarating journey from beginning to end. What was meant to be a leisurely plane ride back to the tranquil Lake District in England transforms into an unforgettable cross-country odyssey through the captivating landscapes of Morocco and Spain. From planes to trains and overnight ferries, this tale of adventure is so extraordinary, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was fiction.

Today power is in the hands of Wall Street and Silicon Valley. How do we understand this transformation in power? And what can we do about it?We cannot change anything until we have a better understanding of how power works, who holds it, and why that matters. Through upgrading the concept of hegemony-understanding the importance of passive consent; the complexity of political interests; and the structural force of technology-Jeremy Gilbert and Alex Williams offer us an updated theory of power for the twenty-first century.Hegemony Now explores how these forces came to control our world. The authors show how they have shaped the direction of politics and government as well as the neoliberal economy to benefit their own interests. However, this dominance is under threat. Following the 2008 financial crisis, a new order emerged in which the digital platform is the central new technology of both production and power. This offers new opportunities for counter hegemonic strategies to win back power. Hegemony Now outlines a dynamic socialist strategy for the twenty-first century.

How can we understand power in a world of ever-growing complexity? This book proposes that we can do so by rethinking the theory and practice of political hegemony through the resources of complexity theory. Taking Gramsci’s understanding of hegemony as its starting point, the book argues that the intricacies of contemporary power can be mapped by applying concepts drawn from complexity theory, such as emergence, self-organisation, metastability, and generative entrenchment. It develops an original account of social complexity, drawing upon critical realist sociology, analytic philosophy of science, Marxist and continental philosophies, and neoliberal and anarchist thought. It then draws out the elements of Gramscian hegemony that already align with complexity concepts, such as the balance of forces, common sense, and the historic bloc. On this basis, the book sets out the different dimensions of complex hegemonic power before using this theory to interpret the nature of the power of neoliberalism since 2008.

I Can't Carry It (and other one acts) is a collection of eight one acts by playwright Alex Williams, written during her collegiate years.

Cape Town, because it is the oldest city in South Africa, is known as the "Mother City". It makes sense because you could say it gave birth to all the other cities that sprang up after its inception. Like a mother, Cape Town will nurture you, care for you, offer you all things good .... And when you leave, you know you will find it hard to cut ties with such a beloved city. The magnificent Table Mountain, Cape Town's iconic landmark, is what comes to mind when one says "Cape Town." Perched, or nestling between the mountains, the ocean and a magnificent national park, this is a mother city with cultural heritage that spans over a more than 300-year lifespan. It's about this city that Nelson Mandela spoke some time ago; 'Rainbow Nation' comes to life. There is a colorful array of old Cape Dutch homes, there are the colorful traditional dancers with their painted faces that perform jaw-dropping dances in the streets of Cape Town, there are the spicy aromas of Malay cooking and the heady delights of exotic wines. Does it not make sense that Cape Town literally will fill your senses? Cape town is the city for all seasons, for all people - from the bells ringing out from the historic St George's Cathedral to the sounds of the muezzin calling members to prayers, to the 2 cannons calling sailors to check their marine chronometers from bygone days.

Neoliberalism isn't working. Austerity is forcing millions into poverty and many more into precarious work, while the left remains trapped in stagnant political practices that offer no respite.Inventing the Future is a bold new 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. Instead of running from a complex future, Nick Srnicek and Alex Williams demand a postcapitalist economy capable of advancing standards, liberating humanity from work and developing technologies that expand our freedoms.This new edition includes a new chapter where they respond to their various critics.
