But what if this isn't depression as we know it, but instead a reaction to the chaos and collapse of a seemingly unchangeable and unliveable future?\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eQuit Everything\u003c\/i\u003e, Franco Berardi argues that this \"depression\" is actually conscious or unconscious withdrawal of psychological energy and a dis-investment of desire that he defines instead as \"desertion\". A desertion from political participation, from the daily grind of capitalism, from the brutal reality of climate collapse, and from a society which offers nothing but chaos and pain. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBerardi analyses why this desertion is on the rise and why more people are quitting everything in our age of political impotence and the rise of the far-right, asking if we can find some political hope in desertion amongst the ruins of a world on the brink of collapse.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67391048253485,"sku":"20527","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_52281dbc-c7af-4d59-850b-6483384b91fc.jpg?v=1787351058","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/quit-everything-interpreting-depression","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
