Beyond Dystopia! is a polemic, a prognosis, and a prescription based upon historical (and current) fact, and what I am seeking is nothing less than humanity's apotheosis, or as Voltaire's Candide had it, "le meilleur des mondes possibles," which does not have to be a world without humans, but rather, one with a limited number of humans, doing less.
Centrally at issue in Beyond Dystopia! is how the global corporate state, especially in the United States of America, systematically classifies, racializes, and as necessary, marginalizes people through social engineering in order to convert them into a compliant, fungible resource in the furtherance of maximal, infinite, economic growth, even to the demise of life on Earth.
In Beyond Dystopia! we will look back from our current dystopian condition, deep into humanity's prehistory, and then, to one of two possible futures; one that holds total, global annihilation through overpopulation, hyper-development, and environmental collapse, or one in which humans have learned to exist in equipoise with nature, and with one another, through transcendental, collective asceticism, and responsible, economic degrowth.
