Descrição do livro
Collected Satires gathers five biting, genre-hopping fables about the same eternal con: the powerful convincing the powerless that their exploitation is actually a privilege. A gaffe-prone president chases ancient demigods and geopolitical glory in the ruins of Mesopotamia. The gods themselves get dragged into a tragic stage play about nepotism and inherited power. A council of Stone Age chiefs stumbles, one blunder at a time, through the entire history of political economy — feudalism, capitalism, communism, and the mess in between. A factory worker fights the same battle for basic dignity across three centuries, from a 19th-century sweatshop to a fluorescent-lit union hall to a brain floating in a corporate server farm. And two ideological superpowers hold the whole planet hostage in a Cold War that never quite goes hot, one propaganda broadcast at a time. Sharp, absurd, and unafraid to name names, Collected Satires is a collection about who really holds the leash — and how little the costume changes from era to era.
