The Future Is Now: An Introduction to Prefigurative Politics

by Lara Monticelli (Editor), Eleonora Gea Piccardi (Contributor), Laura Centemeri (Contributor)

The gloomy prospect of climate change and ecosystems' collapse calls for an urgent rethinking of all aspects of our how we work, produce, eat, spend, take care of each other, relate to nature, and organize our societies. Prefigurative initiatives are attracting a growing amount of attention from scholars and activists precisely because they are envisioning alternative futures by embodying radically different ways of living in the present. Thanks to the contribution of leading researchers, 'The Future is Now' represents the go-to book for anyone seeking a comprehensive, state-of-the-art, and thought-provoking introduction to the thriving field of prefigurative politics.
