สาระสังเขป
"In this ... sequel to his acclaimed Pandemic!: COVID-19 Shakes the World, Zizek delves into some of the more surprising dimensions of lockdowns, quarantines, and social distancing--and the increasingly unruly opposition to them by 'response fatigued' publics around the world. Zizek examines the ripple effects on the food supply of harvest failures caused by labor shortages and the hyper-exploitation of the global class of care workers, without whose labor daily life would be impossible. Through such examples he pinpoints the inability of contemporary capitalism to safeguard effectively the public in times of crisis."
