Synopsis
Re:CONSIDERING invites you to look at what’s familiar from an unfamiliar angle. To consider how we consider things – and how to do it better.Pandemic, supervolcano, late capitalism, transhumanism, populism, cancel culture, the post-antibiotic age, the gig economy, the surveillance state, the cascading effects of climate change …Whatever the specifics, do you ever feel like things are going off the rails - or are just about to?If you’ve read the news, watched a zombie movie, or gotten into an argument on Twitter lately, the answer is probably yes.And you’re not alone.What makes us such apocaholics?What’s so appealing about Armageddon? What are the pleasures - and also the perils of our pessimism?
