Nietzsche Now!
Glenn Wallis, Warbler Press, £19.95
HUMANS enter an age dominated by the super-smarts of artificial intelligence (AI) and will soon be immersed in a souped-up quantum metaphysics where things are true and not true at the same time, and reality has the double-bind effect of the duckrabbit illusion.
Heady stuff ahead. Glenn Wallis believes it’s time for a revaluation of all values and, in his new book, Nietzsche Now! The Great Immoralist on the Vital Issues of Our Time he revisits some of the German philosopher’s most salient and controversial critiques of modern Western society.
Nietzsche often said that he had come too soon with his penetrating observations, and that the world was not ready for his truths. Wallis believes that the time is ripe and that we need Nietzsche now more than ever.
