Sick Planet by Guy Debord
A sharp polemic linking ecological collapse to the dynamics of modern commodity society, this text argues that environmental destruction is not an accidental side-effect but a direct consequence of a social order organized around the spectacle: endless images, consumption, and the commodification of life. It shows how the spectacle anesthetizes public awareness, reduces nature to resources and scenery, and displaces responsibility onto technical fixes while preserving the system that produces pollution and alienation. The piece insists that ecological recovery requires radical social transformation rather than managerial adjustments, since the logic of profit and representation will otherwise reproduce the same pathologies.
