Being stuck at home, reading theory has become a thing I've actually somewhat prioritized and scheduled for myself for the first time in a long time.
However, I find it hard to break from the core of texts. While Lenin and Marx are almost prescient with their predictions, I find many people I talk to suggesting that their premodern writings don't account for things like automation, globalisation, social media, etc.
I'd appreciate if any comrades could share some approachable suggestions (any tendency, I'm down to read whatever) of modern/current writers, or if you want to send me writings predicting the youtube fascist pipeline I'm also down. I'd extra love modern theorists who outline steps forward to revolution and predict outcomes
Yeah second that for Zizek, there are better things to read lol. I also for some reason constantly confuse Terry Eagleton and E.P. Thompson. I have no idea why.
I also own a lot of Jameson books lol. I own Archaeologies of The Future, Late Marxism, The Hegel Variations, An American Utopia, The Modernist Papers, and The Ancients and The Postmodern. I don't own his work on capital (read some of it, do not like it lol) or his postmodernism book though.
