Pandemic! 2 by Slavoj Žižek

Chronicles of a Time Lost

A brisk, provocative meditation on how the COVID-19 crisis exposes the blind spots of contemporary politics, economy, and everyday life, arguing that the pandemic shatters familiar ideological fantasies and forces us to confront the contradictions of global capitalism, rising authoritarianism, and ecological neglect; blending cultural critique, philosophical reflection, and polemical examples, the book warns against both panic-driven scapegoating and naïve calls to "return to normal," while urging collective solidarity, a rethinking of public health and social safety nets, and imaginative political experimentation to prevent deeper social fragmentation after the emergency.
