{"product_id":"9780241344637","title":"The Unnamable Present","description":"\u003cp\u003eTourists, terrorists, secularists, hackers, fundamentalists, transhumanists, algorithmicians: in this book Roberto Calasso considers the tribes that inhabit and inform the world today. A world that feels more elusive than ever before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet once contrasted with the period between 1933 and 1945, when the world made a partially successful attempt at self-annihilation, the new millennium begins to take on an unprecedented form. What emerges is something illusory, ever-shifting and occasionally murderous: the unnamable present. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book, the ninth part of a work in progress, is a meditation on the obscure and ubiquitous process of transformation happening in societies today, where distant echoes of Auden's The Age of Anxiety give way to something altogether more unsettling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Roberto+Calasso\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eRoberto Calasso\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Roberto Calasso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47377034051747,"sku":"9780241344637","price":420.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9780241344637_939f6015-228f-4212-8eaf-00b322697aab.jpg?v=1776462055","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9780241344637","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
