In an age where consumption devours everything in its path, The Cannibal World paints a merciless portrait of a civilization feeding on itself. Through writing that is at once poetic, mystical, and political, this essay explores the mechanisms of a society turned cannibal: the attention economy, the commodification of desire, the limitless exploitation of the Earth and of bodies.
But this book is not a cry of despair. On the contrary, it traces the path of a possible resurrection. After passing through the "belly of the world," the author invites us to join the "fasters," those resisters who refuse to devour and choose communion, slowness, contemplation. Between unflinching diagnosis and prophetic vision, The Cannibal World is a call to relearn how to inhabit the world, to love without consuming, to be without possessing.
A powerful work that dialogues with Debord, Simone Weil, and Péguy, while speaking to our present with burning urgency.
